75% Economics provides students with a strong grounding in the theoretical foundations of economics and their relevance for understanding economic behaviour and policy. Students develop knowledge of key economic concepts and frameworks, alongside familiarity with analytical and quantitative tools used to examine real-world economic issues. Through the study of microeconomic and macroeconomic perspectives, students explore how economists analyse markets, institutions, and economic outcomes. The programme also introduces students to important theoretical developments in the discipline, enabling them to appreciate advances in economic thought and their application to contemporary economic challenges in both national and global contexts. The Italian component allows students to develop Italian language skills (whether from beginner or A level standard) to becoming a proficient user, as well as introducing them to practical, digital and mediation skills such as translation and interpreting. Students taking 25% Italian with the year abroad will also enhance their understanding of aspects of life and culture in Italy as well as developing their proficiency in the language, their intercultural and transnational awareness and communication abilities, and their practical and interpersonal employability skills. Combined Degrees\ Most Combined Degrees allow you to adapt the weighting of each by 25% after the first year, helping you to keep your options open. Please note, however, students studying either a Business or Economics pathway in combination with another subject cannot increase from 25% to 50% or from 50% to 75% and it is not possible to transfer from a 50% to 75% Law.
