Ba in economics in University of reading

On this course you will explore and develop a deep understanding of the increasingly critical economic and related issues that dominate the news agenda and shape the world in which we live. You will study practical issues in economics and explore the relationship between economics and society more widely. This course places less emphasis on mathematical and statistical content, and instead you will focus on the relevance of these techniques to applied problems. You will still learn necessary maths skills in your core modules with extensive support, should you need it. Each year you will be able to choose from a wide range of specialist optional modules and tailor the degree to your own interests. These span a number of topics, including business, policy, economic history and even the economics of climate change. You can also choose to do modules in other subjects such as history and politics, some of which cover topics and issues related to economics. In addition to traditional lectures, you will take part in small group tutorials in which you can discuss and analyse theory and practice through case studies, group presentations and open debate. You can also apply what you learn to a placement and gain valuable real-world experience at the same time.
