Overview

From global recession to interest rates, the news headlines are full of stories relating to economics and finance. Exploring economic systems and how they work helps us to understand the impact they have on our society and the way in which we live.

Over three years, you sharpen your mathematical and statistical skills along with your ability to analyse data, construct and present strong arguments, and solve complex business problems. These are all key skills valued by employers across the business community.

The Economics and Finance (Hons) programme from The University of Winchester helps you to explore current debates about the relationship between economics, finance and society, and gives you opportunities to specialise in areas of interest and career aspirations.

As well as economics, you study management accounting, financial management, investments and risk management. And you can test out your new knowledge in the Trading Room in the Winchester Business School, which offers you the latest computer-based business simulation to gain real-world experience of markets.

In Year 1, you explore large-scale general economic drivers and their influences on wealth creation at national and international levels (Macroeconomics) and how economic units make decisions and distribute goods and services (Microeconomics). There are also core modules in Management Accounting, Finance and Mathematical Skills for Economists.

Year 2 builds on this foundation with a deeper study of Macro- and Microeconomics, along with Applied Management Research, and Management Accounting and Financial Management, providing you with opportunities to develop your knowledge, understanding, technical skills and confidence to operate successfully in an international and globalised work environment.

In Year 3, you study Advanced Macro- and Microeconomics, Investments, and Financial Risk Management. Choose from optional modules including Business Ethics, Sustainable Strategy in Practice and Volunteering for Economists.
