IntroductionThe Division of Economics operates within the Faculty of Social Sciences, where teaching staff have research interests in the fields of trade, economic integration, macroeconomic policy, finance, individual behaviour and social economics and these are reflected in developments in the curriculum. Programmes within the Economics Division have an emphasis on transferable skills in addition to subject knowledge and aim to be relevant to contemporary life, occupations and events.The Division’s programmes range across economics and related disciplines. Current programmes focus on economics in general, economics and its application to particular fields in the areas of business, finance or international trade; and a range of programmes that combine economics with other social sciences or marketing.All programmes comprising the undergraduate Economics programme in the Division of Economics provide a structured approach to the discipline of economics that is informed by the Quality Assessment Agency for Higher Education (QAAHE) Benchmarking Statement in Economics with respect to the aims of the programme, subject knowledge and understanding, together with subject-specific skills including numeracy and quantitative skills. Each programme offers a choice of complementary options taught in the Division of Economics, in other divisions within the Faculty of Social and International Studies, and appropriate subjects taught in other faculties.The MEcon in Economics provides you with a thorough grounding in economic principles and their application to a wide range of related financial, social and policy issues.

Study Abroad and Placement OpportunitiesWe encourage you to consider an optional year of study abroad or work placement, normally taken between Stages 2 and 3 of your programme. If you opt for one of these experiences, you will transfer to the five year programme route. You will be invited to various Faculty and University events providing more information about these opportunities.For study abroad, the Faculty has links with universities in Europe, North America and Australia. In most of our European partner institutions, classes are taught in English, and study abroad activities to these universities are part of the European Union Erasmus scheme. Whatever

partner institution you choose, a year of study abroad will provide you with invaluable experience of living and working in another culture and the modules you select will complement your main programme studies. If you opt for study abroad, your diet of study at the partner institution will be agreed with the study abroad co-ordinator and will be in addition to the credits you will study towards your Economics programme. Study abroad will be recognised on your transcript following successful completion of a reflective assessment of your experience and development. We also encourage you to consider applying for work placement opportunities. We ask you to identify opportunities in conjunction with the Careers Service, who will help you locate and apply. A year spent in employment provides an excellent opportunity to apply the knowledge, understanding and skills that you have developed during the earlier stages of your programme. It will also enable you to further develop your transferable skills and may even secure your entry onto the graduate career ladder as many employers use a placement year as a method of recruitment onto their graduate training scheme. Our students are increasingly securing work placements, either during the summer vacation or for a full year in industry and the public sector, including HM Treasury and the Government Economic Service. If you opt for a work placement, agreed with your programme co-ordinator, placements will be recognised on your student transcript, following successful completion of a reflective assessment of your experience and development.The curriculum may change, subject to the University's programme approval, monitoring and review procedures.

Teaching and Assessment StrategiesThe strategy for learning within the Division is to enable you to achieve your optimum level of competence and understanding at each stage in order to be well prepared, and feel confident, to progress to higher levels of skill and knowledge. While lectures are the main teaching method, a wide variety of other learning activities take place including: lectures with notes and supplementary reading, exercises, projects and workbooks, independent study and group work. Different assessment methods are employed to match the learning outcomes of each module, and to achieve an overall balance between examinations, essays and other written work, oral presentations, problem solving exercises and group work. Classroom and mid-semester tests are intended to provide feedback on your progress. Please see the appendix for further details.The Stage 3 dissertation is a substantial piece of work that gives you the opportunity not only to increase your specialist subject knowledge, but also to demonstrate your ability to undertake independent study. Throughout the programme, you will acquire skills that will be useful not only in Economics, but in whatever profession you choose to follow. These will be taught, practised and assessed.

55% or above is required on modules taken in that stage.2) that students in stage 4 must not take options outside of that stage

(stage 4/FHEQ level 7) in order to meet the requirement that at least 120 credits must be taken at FHEQ level 7 to qualify for an Integrated Master’s degree.

Admission RequirementsThe University welcomes applications from all potential students regardless of their previous academic experience; offers are made following detailed consideration of each individual application. Most important in the decision to offer a place is our assessment of a candidate’s potential to benefit from their studies and of their ability to succeed on this particular programme. Entrance requirements for each programme will vary but consideration of your application will be based on a combination of your formal academic qualifications and other relevant experience.If you have prior certificated learning or professional experience which may be equivalent to parts of this programme, the University has procedures to evaluate this learning in order to provide you with exemptions from specified modules contained within the curriculum. Please talk to us if you do not fit the standard pattern of entry qualifications.The University of Bradford has always welcomed applications from disabled students, and these will be considered on the same academic grounds as are applied to all applicants. We are continually reviewing and developing our practices and policies to make the University more inclusive, but if you are disabled we may need to make some adjustments to make sure that you are not disadvantaged. We would advise you to contact the programme leader before you apply to discuss these.A typical offer to someone seeking entry through the UCAS scheme would be 320 points. This points total must include a minimum of 220 points from two GCE A-levels. There are no specific subject requirements and General Studies may be included within the overall points score. GCSE

All students are encouraged to access Career Development Services at an early stage during their studies and to use the extensive resources available on their web site www.careers.brad.ac.uk.Career Development Services annually undertakes a survey of all graduates to find out their destination six months after graduation. The survey gathers data on the employment and further study routes graduates have entered and a range of other information including job roles, name and location of employers, salary details etc. The survey findings for each programme of study are presented on the programme information pages on the University website and via Career Development Services’ website www.careers.brad.ac.ukThe Economics programme will allow you to present a wide range of skills to potential employers, or indeed provide a solid basis for further postgraduate study in the fields of economics, social sciences or business. Indeed, graduates with a training in economics are increasingly in demand for their analytical and problem solving skills as much for their knowledge of economic principles and applications. Our graduates pursue a range of careers in the fields on finance, insurance, general management, government and education. See www.whystudyeconomics.ac.uk for more information about the skills acquired by economics graduates and the types of careers pursued.
