Economics (Hons)

Overview

Businesses and governments rely on economists to help them examine issues, identify trends and deal with financial uncertainty. By studying our BA/BSc (Hons) Economics degree, you’ll explore how organisations and individuals invest and allocate their resources.

Throughout the Economics (Hons) degree at Manchester Metropolitan University, we’ll challenge you to think about choices people make and how those decisions affect every aspect of our lives. You’ll explore everything from employment to distribution of wealth, government spending to international trade.

To make sure our teaching tackles the most current challenges, we work in partnership with local government and companies such as investment platform, AJ Bell. You’ll explore a diverse range of areas including policy, cryptocurrencies and economic forecasting.

In response to industry need, we’ve also introduced a computer coding module. Moving forward, employers will expect graduates to be confident in this area. It’s not something all universities offer, but we know it’s an important part of learning to handle data in all shapes and forms.

Career

By studying economics you'll have a wide range of career paths open to you. Some of our graduates have gone on to undertake roles with organisations like Deloitte, HMRC, HM Treasury, the NHS, Experian, PwC, and the Government Economic Service. 

If you have discovered a passion for research, you might decide to carry on to postgraduate study. This is a great opportunity to specialise in an area that interests you.
