Economics (Undergraduate) at Loughborough University
Economics relates to every aspect of our lives, from the decisions we make as individuals to the structures created by governments and companies. Economics will give you new perspectives on some of the most pressing and challenging problems and choices facing the world today.
As an economist you will develop the skills to understand how consumers and firms interact and behave, how government policy affects the economy and how financial systems operate.
By providing an in-depth analysis of firms’ decision making in a variety of settings, economics can help business managers make better pricing, production and investment decisions. This flexible course allows you to specialise in the final year by choosing optional modules that are most suited to your career aspirations.
We are committed to helping you stand out in the increasingly competitive graduate job market and many of our graduates go on to enjoy rewarding careers with major international companies.
Our high quality courses develop skills valued by employers including independent learning and research, analytical skills, group work, presentation skills, project work, computer skills and numeracy. Our wide variety of optional modules enables students to focus on areas related to their career aspirations.
Lectures are supported by online resources, tutorials, workshops, seminars and discussion groups. Some tutorials are streamed according to prior qualifications in mathematics.
