About Economics Bsc in University of Sheffield
On our BSc you'll specialise in methodological modules and learn quantitative and analytical skills. But you'll also have the opportunity to take application and policy modules.
The distinctive characteristic of our BSc is the training you'll receive in advanced methods, particularly mathematical and statistical. The course also gives you the chance to apply these methods to a variety of economic problems.
Year one will build the foundation for the rest of your degree. You'll study core economic principles and theories, and develop your core quantitative skills in mathematical methods for economics.
In year two you'll build on your toolkit of theoretical and quantitative skills. Modules in your final year will give you cutting-edge training in analytical methods.
By choosing a dissertation, you'll have the chance to demonstrate your ability to independently undertake an extended piece of research and apply advanced methods to the analysis of a specific economic problem of your choice. Or, if you don't want to do a dissertation, you can carry out a number of shorter projects.
