BA Economics (Industry) provides you with the analytic skills and intellectual toolbox to help answer these pressing economics questions and many more and the possibility of directly applying them through a paid placement in industry. You will learn how to interpret data, understand (and quantify) the decisions made by individuals, organisations, and governments and evaluate economic policies. Course overview The course begins by introducing the foundational principles of economic theory. The BA then seeks to connect these analytical skills with insights from other social sciences such as politics, international relations, history and sociology. This flexible degree is designed to allow you to take the skills you learn through an economics degree and apply them to multiple careers. You will cover the fundamentals of economic theory and practice, and as your degree progresses and you discover more about both the subject and about yourself, you have the opportunity to flex this course in ways that speak to your changing interests and strengths. This might lead you to choose modules in: Development economics Economic inequality Health economics Labour economics Amongst many other specialisations. This leads to a degree unique to you, where you have played a major part in building the degree you want. Our degree weaves theory and evidence into policy analysis with a valuable paid industry placement where you’ll experience economics in action. This allows you to understand fundamental issues and topical concerns. In the BA in Economics, we give students a broader appreciation of key issues in society by combining Economic analysis with insights from the other social sciences. Therefore, in your first year, you will also choose one subject from the social science subjects: politics, international relations, history, or sociology, and another subject from a wide range of options. You will continue with your study of social science throughout your degree. In the second year, you will progress to topics such as micro and macroeconomics and quantitative methods, which provide many of the analytical tools used in economics, along with some economics options and a further module from the social sciences. Your third year is spent in industry. You’ll be supported in securing a placement, with past students joining companies such as IBM, Lloyds Bank, Microsoft, PwC and the Bank of England. Roles on offer range from project management and logistics to investment, business development and risk. Most placements are in the UK, but there are some options available overseas. Your final year sees you choosing most of your modules in Economics along with some additional options from the social sciences. We offer a wide range of economics modules, from Public Economics to International Trade, Health Economics to Sports Economics, so you can tailor your studies to suit your aspirations. applied to a specific field. You need specific knowledge and skills if you want to be a government economist advising on tax or socialwelfare costs. The same is true for a career in finance. You need specific finance models – how much to invest here, or advise clients to invest there. However, the mode of thinking is the same for both: it is the critical, disciplined way of thinking that you will get from an Economics degree at Lancaster University. Economics opens up the world because the critical and analytical thinking skills that it inculcates can be applied whatever your passion: politics, finance, the trading floor, or working for a Non-governmental organisation; all use the same skills.
