Course summary

75% Economics provides students with a strong grounding in the theoretical foundations of economics and their relevance for understanding economic behaviour and policy.

Students develop knowledge of key economic concepts and frameworks, alongside familiarity with analytical and quantitative tools used to examine real-world economic issues. Through the study of microeconomic and macroeconomic perspectives, students explore how economists analyse markets, institutions, and economic outcomes.

The programme also introduces students to important theoretical developments in the discipline, enabling them to appreciate advances in economic thought and their application to contemporary economic challenges in both national and global contexts.

Our Minor in German (25% of your degree) enables you to attain a proficient level by progressing through structured and immersive language training. You will take German language from beginners or advanced level, developing advanced skills in writing, reading, speaking and listening, as well as an awareness of regional linguistic variations and the societies and cultures of German-speaking countries. An optional Year Abroad is spent in a German-speaking country as a student at a university, an assistant in a school, or on a work placement.

Combined Degrees
Most Combined Degrees allow you to adapt the weighting of each by 25% after the first year, helping you to keep your options open. Please note, however, students studying either a Business or Economics pathway in combination with another subject cannot increase from 25% to 50% or from 50% to 75% and it is not possible to transfer from a 50% to 75% Law. To find out more about your programme choice, please go first to our Combined Degrees webpages: liverpool.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/combined-degrees.
