ECONOMICS

My four years at Swansea University studying Economics has been thoroughly enjoyable and the range of extracurricular activities available to students is huge.

During their studies at Swansea, our students sharpen their analytical powers and enhance their decision-making skills. They practice, apply and refine their investigative and critical evaluation skills to enable the formulation of appropriate and real world policy advice for governments, society and businesses.

Economic issues shape and modify individual and societal actions throughout our lives, and our economic thought helps us deliberate over important decisions such as whether the UK should leave the EU or when we should purchase a new mobile phone. Economics is all around us and we can’t escape it. Our degrees provide a rigorous and flexible path through many areas of economics. They provide a solid understanding of the core economics areas while providing you with the freedom to pick from a range of optional modules so that you can tailor your degree to suit your interests.
