The BSc in Economics and Politics offers a stimulating academic journey, blending intellectual rigor across two highly regarded departments known for their teaching excellence and research impact. This dual discipline program provides comprehensive insights into the interplay between economic frameworks and political structures.
The economics curriculum features foundational core modules in years one and two, encompassing microeconomics, macroeconomics, quantitative methods, and econometric analysis. These prepare students for specialized third-year electives, with popular choices including Development Economics, Behavioral Economics, Economic History, and Global Economic Systems.
The politics component examines governance systems, international affairs, and societal power dynamics through three key lenses: political philosophy, comparative government, and global relations. Alongside essential core modules, students can select from distinctive options that reflect faculty expertise - a hallmark of Bristol's program.
Politics offerings span diverse areas like global governance, political economics, British and American political systems, gender studies, and conflict resolution. The program emphasizes research methodology, culminating in an optional final-year dissertation project.
