Untangle complex national and global issues from two different and complementary perspectives. Have you ever wondered how public policies are created? Join us to study economics and politics, where you’ll explore these big questions and more. London’s financial centres, the City and Canary Wharf, are on our doorstep which means we invite guest lecturers to talk with you about specialist areas such as Brexit Britain and international development. You’ll also learn from a teaching team that makes an impact on policy-making and public debate through their research. Looking at the economy as a whole is a central part of this course, but you’ll analyse the behaviour and motivations of individuals and companies too. You’ll also combine insights and perspectives from economic and political theory to explore social issues such as globalisation, racism, and political violence. This degree offers professional training in economics and invaluable political understanding, alongside transferable research, analytical and communication skills. Boosting industry know-how We’ll help you master the quantitative techniques you need to investigate relationships between economic variables. In our Bloomberg trading room, you’ll use the same economic and financial data used by practitioners in industry.

The typical entry requirements will vary according to the course you are applying for. Some of our courses require specific subject knowledge which you may not be able to cover as part of a Level 3 BTEC qualification and we may therefore require additional Level 3 qualifications to ensure that you are suitably prepared for relevant courses. A small number of our courses do not accept BTEC qualifications for entry, either as a standalone qualification, or in combination with other qualifications at Level 3. Information on our typical entry requirements and guidance for applying can be found at http://www.qmul.ac.uk/undergraduate/entry/btec/ If you are at all unsure about the acceptability of your BTEC qualification for entry, please contact the Admissions team for individual advice (admissions@qmul.ac.uk).
