Pandemics, wars, and political unrest have shown us that understanding economics and international relations is vital.
The global economy is made up of interconnected countries – all have their own structures and economic policies. To navigate these complex relationships, governments, and international organisations need people like you to understand economic theory and its interplay with politics.
You’ll be studying specialist areas in each subject that combine economics and international relations. All of this will help you understand how economics and international relations work together. Being able to investigate the relationships between economic variables will be key. Throughout your studies, you'll have access to our Bloomberg trading room where you’ll use the same data used by practitioners in industry.
Immersed in industry
Our teaching team makes an impact on policy-making and public debate through their research. We’re also near London’s financial centres, the City and Canary Wharf, which means we invite guest lecturers to share their insights with you about specialist areas such as Brexit Britain, and international development.
Our annual 'Focus on Economics' programme includes workshops to help you explore career options in consulting, government, investment banking, insurance, and trading. Together with optional modules in specialised areas, you’ll start to get an idea of what your future career looks like.

Academic Requirements
This programme is designed for international students who have completed a good high school education that consists of at least 12 years’ study and includes Mathematics equivalent to GCSE grade 6. For minimum requirements, please refer to details on our website.
You are unlikely to be considered if you have completed your education in a system that involves 13 years’ study, for example if you have taken GCSEs and A levels (or BTEC or IB equivalents) in the UK or the Middle Years Programme followed by the IB Diploma in any country. In such cases we recommend that you apply for the relevant three year programme with entry in year 1.
We may consider applications from students who have completed A levels or the IB Diploma in the UK or elsewhere where they have transferred from a different secondary school system. For example, a student who is taking A levels in the UK, having previously studied in their home country, may be considered for admission to this degree programme. Each application will be considered individually.
English
Minimum of IELTS 6.0, with a minimum of 5.5 in each component.
