Undergraduate courses

Our rigorous undergraduate degrees are available for all. For students who have been away from study for some time or who do not meet the direct entry criteria, we offer foundation year entry and entry through our short courses.

BSc Economics+

  • Economics is concerned with questions such as:
    • Why are some countries rich and others poor?
    • When and how should governments intervene in free markets?
    • How can we best use data to make predictions about the future?
  • Our BSc Economics+ programmes start from a common core, making it easy to switch programmes in the first year. We offer all programmes in part-time and full-time, and with direct and foundation-year entry.

    • Single Honours Degrees. Our BSc Economics and BSc Financial Economics will provide you with a deep understanding of the modern economy and the skillset of a professional economist.
    • Joint with Business. Develop an understanding of business and the wider economy with our Economics and Business and BSc Finance with Accounting degrees, taught jointly with the Department of Management.
    • Economics and Social Policy. Learn how the economy is affected by power, politics, and the geography of nations with our BSc Economics and Social Policy degree, taught jointly with the Departments of Geography and Politics.
    • Mathematical Economics. Economists require a toolkit of mathematical models and the statistical techniques used to test them. Our BSc Economics and/with Mathematics and BSc Statistics and Economics will give you a deep understanding of these tools, the mathematics they rely upon, and how to use them in the real world.
  • We also offer a unique opportunity in partnership with Universitat Internacional de Catalunya (UIC), where students can attain both Bachelor in Business Administration from UIC and Birkbeck's BSc Economics or BSc Financial Economics after five years of study in Barcelona and London.
