BSc Economics and Social Policy allow you to study a wide range of economic, social, political, and geographical theories while learning how to apply them to contemporary policy issues.

This economics and social policy degree will help you to address important issues such as:

What explains the massive differences in prosperity across the globe, both between countries and between individuals within countries?

How do different economic systems affect these outcomes?

What is the role of government and other power structures in affecting economic and social outcomes?
