Why Economics

Those who study economics here gain access to the Bloomberg Lab, which replicates a real trading floor where they master Bloomberg Professional Service—the same system financial firms worldwide rely on. Beyond scheduled classes, the lab stays open so students can gather research data while completing Bloomberg Market Concepts, a free course that deepens their understanding of financial markets. Successfully passing modules in accounting, finance, and quantitative methods also earns exemptions from professional exams for CIMA, ACCA, and CFA qualifications.

Philosophy, Politics and Economics

The Philosophy, Politics and Economics BA trains students to analyze social challenges through three interconnected disciplines. As they explore artificial intelligence, climate change, and digital democracy, participants develop critical thinking alongside ethical reasoning—guided by faculty who specialize in political economy and comparative analysis. Final-year students choose between completing a Challenge Project, writing a dissertation in politics, philosophy, or economics, pursuing industry placements, or studying abroad at partner universities.

After establishing foundations in macro- and microeconomics, students investigate power structures and inequality before exploring mechanisms that drive change across all levels. Their practical work includes decision-making simulations, manifesto development, economic modeling, and analytical reporting—experiences that build the commercial awareness essential for careers in government or finance.
