Program Description

You’ll learn how economists think, how they analyse, and how they problem solve. You’ll also study traditional theories including macroeconomics, microeconomics, and quantitative economics, alongside heterodox methods.As you progress through the course, you'll be exposed to a wide range of real world problems encountered by individuals, businesses, and governments today. Critically, you’ll explore potential approaches to addressing them. You’ll study a variety of perspectives, and are encouraged to think independently, challenging theory where necessary and with good reason. “In the second and third years of my Herts Economics course is where I really began to love the subject - and there were some great lecturers who covered fascinating topics. I thoroughly enjoyed expanding my knowledge into microeconomics, as well as delving into relatively new concepts such as game theory and econometrics. For me, these were the subjects that stood out on the course and were delivered to a very high level. These subjects teach you a lot about the theory of economics but also a lot about how it can be applied to real world examples. Both have been immensely useful in my chosen career path and provided a level of analytical thinking I know that other graduates do not have. ” Our assessments include written essays, work-based business reports and group presentations, which gives you a head start on developing the practical skills needed for your career.    As a caring and friendly university, we pride ourselves on our pastoral support, alongside high-quality teaching. You’ll benefit from a personal experience, including frequent contact to check your progress and wellbeing. Your personal tutor will help you stay accountable and on track.Feedback from one student really sums it up: “Overall, without the support from lecturers and the programme leader I would not have had such a positive university experience nor gone on to study a master's course. The staff made me realise my potential which I then unlocked.“  

Where you'll study 

Your teaching is on our modern campus, with self-study materials to support you from our virtual learning platform, StudyNet. You’ll study at the Hertfordshire Business School which is located on our large de Havilland Campus. You’ll be sharing this campus with others studying business, law, sports, education, and the humanities, as well as the Enterprise Hub and the Sports Village, which features a gym, swimming pool, coffee shop, and a climbing wall.There are dining options, a bar, and a recreational space on campus where you can shoot some pool or play video games. The Enterprise Hub is a vibrant destination where local firms and students can work and learn in comfort. In addition to open study spaces, our Learning Resources Centre also features private study rooms, and is open 24/7 allowing you to study around your schedule. The Student Union bar and additional facilities are only a 20-minute walk (or short bus ride) away at our College Lane Campus. Student housing is available at both campuses. 

What will I study?

“I really valued the wide range of optional modules to choose from on the course, which allowed me to explore different avenues in the first two years, and then cater the course to my specific interests and competencies in my final year.” You will cover four modules each semester, each with a minimum of two hours of in-person teaching per week. You will also need to do independent learning and will have access to online content as well as recommended books, videos, and podcasts to help you.  This course offers a blend of modern heterodox and more traditional methods in economics. It will enable you to apply a variety of economic principles to a wide range of problems. In the first year, you’ll study introductory modules on microeconomics and macroeconomics, and be equipped with fundamental quantitative skills. In the second year, you will progress to intermediate microeconomics and macroeconomics while also developing your quantitative skills by studying techniques of economic analysis and econometrics. In the final year, you’ll get to study advanced microeconomics and macroeconomics with an emphasis on policy making. This year, you can choose from a variety of optional modules.   There are also opportunities to further enrich your personal development through our Go Herts certification program, placements, internships, study-abroad and Future Success networking events.
