This joint honours degree provides a particularly strong combination of study, as the interplay between economics and the process of government is central to political life. The programme offers a range of government course options, including courses on political economy and public choice (the use of the analytical tools of economics in the study of politics).

First year
Your study begins with basic courses in each subject, including a mathematics course (the choice of course depends on your previous knowledge of mathematics: for students without A Level Mathematics, it is strongly recommended that they take a specially designed statistics course in order to bring them up to the required level for further study).
Second and third years
You combine advanced study of optional government subjects with compulsory courses in Microeconomic Principles and Macroeconomic Principles, Public Choice and Politics, and a further range of options in both subjects. One option from another subject is possible.
