Economists are indispensable to businesses and the world at large for their ability to analyse complex data and explain it in easy-to-understand terms. As a social science, economics helps us to answer critical questions about banking systems, financial crises, taxes, policy, investment and growth.

It’s an intellectually challenging discipline that shows you how to apply maths and statistical data to solve increasingly complex financial problems. A full set of wider transferable skills make economics graduates some of the most highly sought-after across a range of sectors.

The modern business world increasingly requires an ability to understand the driving principles of economics and financial operations.
