On this four-year course, you'll study compulsory theoretical and applied content throughout the course and have the option to choose modules in economics that are of interest to you. Optional topics range from economics of innovation, translation and interpreting to international economics. You’ll also study the society and culture of the countries where your chosen language is spoken.
