The BA(Econ) is an interdisciplinary program that lets you focus on Economics while also exploring other social sciences like philosophy, politics, and sociology.
- Interdisciplinary foundation: A flagship programme combining rigorous economics with philosophy, developing strong economic reasoning alongside ethical judgement, logic and critical analysis.
- Depth and specialisation: Build the core technical skills expected of an economist while engaging deeply with philosophy, including ethics, epistemology, metaphysics and the philosophy of science.
- Critical and reflective focus: Go beyond models and data to question assumptions, evaluate values and assess the ethical and conceptual foundations of economic decision-making.
- Flexible degree structure: One of eight BA (Econ) specialisations, with opportunities to study abroad or complete a professional placement.
- Future-ready skills: Develop analytical, quantitative and philosophical reasoning, including the ability to think clearly about data, technology and generative AI in social decision-making.
- World-leading environment: Study at a UK Top 10 university for Social Sciences and Arts and Humanities (THE 2026), within an Economics department including four Nobel Laureates, and graduate from one of the UK’s most targeted universities by top employers (High Fliers 2025).
