Course summary
Economics is a social science which examines the production, distribution and consumption of goods and services. Studying economics lets you understand how people interact with others and their surroundings. You’ll also investigate worldwide issues within a historical and philosophical context, and learn how to apply your knowledge for the good of business and society.
At the University of Stirling Business School, our economics courses are taught in an innovative new way through our commitment to the CORE Project – “Economics for a Changing World”. We place great emphasis on applying economic thinking to real world business and policy challenges. You’ll gain strong analytical skills along with the knowledge and practical skills you need to gain success in your chosen career.
Environmental Science combines physical, biological and chemical sciences to study the environment and discover solutions to environmental problems such as climate change, pollution, loss of biodiversity and the sustainable provision of energy, food, and clean water.
Our Environmental Science courses blend scientific knowledge and technical training. You'll gain the analytical, field and laboratory skills to understand the complex interactions between people and the environment. Our research-led teaching ensures you are up-to-date with the latest knowledge.
Stirling is a superb place to study Environmental Science with a proud history of innovation in environmental research and study. We were one of the first UK universities to introduce an Environmental Science course. Stirling is also a hub for conservation and environmental organisations and we’re ideally located for diverse landscapes and industrial sites.
