BSc in Economics (Honours) in Cardiff United Kingdom | Cardiff Metropolitan University

The BSc Economics program places significant focus on critical analysis and practical implementation. The Government Economic Service, the UK's leading employer of economists, has openly expressed concerns about higher education economics training lacking sufficient emphasis on comprehension and real-world application. This gap has contributed to their ongoing recruitment challenges. We take pride in being the pioneering new university to implement the innovative CORE curriculum, which cultivates students' ability to apply economic principles to diverse challenges across social, political, and environmental spheres.

Our Economics faculty specializes in various fields including Labor Economics, Regional Economics, International Political Economy, Financial Economics, Energy Economics, Game Theory, and Crime Economics. They collaborate with institutions like the Welsh Government and Government Economic Service to maintain a contemporary and applicable curriculum.
