BSc (Hons) Economics and Politics in Birmingham United Kingdom | University of Birmingham Foundation Pathways

Our BSc in Economics and Politics combines two deeply interconnected disciplines that shape modern society. This dual-degree program equips you to address critical challenges including climate economics, financial instability, trade policies, and fiscal matters. Each economic policy reflects political priorities, influencing communities through tax systems, monetary policies, and public expenditure. By studying these subjects together, you'll gain insights into population dynamics and economic behavior, learning to apply this understanding across sectors like environmental policy, energy markets, nonprofit work, governance, social systems, and financial markets.
Collaborating with leading economists and political scientists, you'll cultivate the analytical abilities needed for ethical leadership and meaningful societal contributions across various professional paths.
