The future requires a multidisciplinary approach. Tomorrow's successful innovators will be people who can skilfully combine science, art, engineering, the humanities, economics, and enterprise skillsets to come up with purpose-driven solutions that drive positive change. These problem-solvers will be team players who employ a breadth of skills and qualities, and work across specialisations, cultures and industries. This course combines in-depth subject specialism at the University of Bristol alongside practice-based learning delivered by the Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship's multiple [award-winning teaching team](https://www.bristol.ac.uk/innovation/the-team/). In conjunction with your economics studies, you will learn to apply design thinking methods to grow a moment of inspiration into feasible plans that could include launching social and commercial enterprises. Your economics units will develop the necessary analytical and quantitative skills for a wide range of careers in economics and beyond. This technically rigorous course puts emphasis on econometrics, the application of statistical methods to data to estimate economic models, and is informed by the school's world-leading research. You will become skilled in understanding economic concepts and applying formal models and econometrics tools to test behavioural predictions using real-world data. Collaborative group work is a core component of our learning approach. You will join up with students from other innovation disciplines, such as film and television, history and physics, building on each other's ideas and combining knowledges to develop novel solutions. This approach mirrors that of innovation teams to build in-demand professional skills in how to communicate, deliver actionable results, and give value to your unique interests and contributions. By the time you graduate, you will have a portfolio of work ranging from live client projects to planning your own entrepreneurial venture. You will have learned how to evaluate the potential of products and services and how to sustain new endeavours, including through financing. Importantly, you will have cultivated a network of peers and advisers who have worked with you throughout your studies. For more information visit the [Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship](https://www.bristol.ac.uk/innovation/). Teaching for this course takes place both at our vibrant Clifton Campus and our cutting-edge Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus, where enhanced links with businesses will help give you real-world knowledge, networks and skills to succeed once you graduate. Economics units are taught at Clifton, while innovation units are taught at Temple Quarter.
