University of EssexEconomics isn’t optional to study right now: it’s vital to our future well-being in a post-COVID-19 world. The skills you learn at Essex will be in high demand from employers in the coming years.
At Essex, we have a unique strength in public policy measures to stimulate and manage the economy, including the behavioral techniques to get messages across. You could combine the study of health economics with public economics and development economics to get a broad view of how one can respond to a threat such as Covid-19, balancing home and global needs.
Economic recovery is probably one of the most pressing and urgent challenges right now and studying for an economics degree gives you the unique tools to take on this challenge, find a solution, and improve your well-being.
Studying economics provides you with a greater understanding of the world around you. It teaches you how the economy functions, how people make decisions, why an economic crisis occurs, and what the different solutions are. Economics at Essex is not only about stocks, shares, and financial markets; it is concerned with the material well-being of human societies.
Our course gives you a thorough introduction to all aspects of economics, including micro and macroeconomics, and qualitative and mathematical research methods. Examine the decisions of individuals, the strategies of firms, and the policies of individuals to understand and challenge the standard rules of economics.
