Course summary

Economics at Greenwich aims to provide you with the intellectual abilities and analytical tools to understand, analyse and act upon the most challenging issues of our time.

We believe economics must help to build and more equitably share prosperity, create meaningful employment, and ensure the transition to a carbon-neutral future. We have responded to calls from students and industry alike to change the way we do economics: we are a national leader in applied real-world economics that learns from history and embraces diversity.

Our BSc Economics degree gives students the possibility after first year of specialising in finance, ESG (environmental, social and governance issues), or the economics of public policy.

In your time with us you will gain the knowledge and skills essential for either graduate employment or post-graduate study. Our graduates have pursued successful careers in industry, finance, the civil service, NGOs, research and education.

Looking for Direct Entry? We welcome direct applications from students wishing to transfer with prior degree level study. Please note that accreditation and modules available to study will depend on an individual’s previous level of study.
