Our BA Economics with International Foundation Year course focuses on how economic tools can be applied to different markets and situations.
This programme is designed for international students. If you want to study economics at a British university but don’t have the correct qualifications, our four-year>BA Economics with International Foundation Year programme enables you to undertake an undergraduate economics degree.
