Escuela de Ciencias Sociales

We all take economic decisions every day and are affected by other people’s decisions, at a local, national and global level. Economics is the study of these decisions and actions, and of the way economic processes work, allowing a better understanding of the society in which we live.
Our degree programmes offer comprehensive training in economic analysis and quantitative methods, equipping you with the skills and expertise demanded by employers in industry and finance. Particular emphasis is given to new developments in economics, providing an excellent grounding for a career as a professional economist.

You will develop in-depth knowledge of the discipline, along with key problem-solving, communication and data analysis skills. All our programmes contain significant mathematical and statistical components.

We offer two types of programme: single honours, for those who want to specialise in economics; and joint honours, for those who want to combine their interest in economics with another subject (subject to some restrictions, students can transfer between programmes). Particular emphasis is given to new developments in economics (eg the economics of information, game theory, credible macroeconomic policy, the measurement of inequality and the analysis of financial data), so our programmes provide an excellent grounding for any career, including as a professional economist. You will be taught by leading economists, with international reputations in their fields. The Economics Division at the University of Southampton has strengths in all the main areas of economics.
