This BSc course allows you to specialise in methodological modules, learn rigorous quantitative and analytical skills and apply this knowledge to your analysis of economic policy.
DurationThe BSc Economics allows you to specialise in methodological modules, learn rigorous quantitative and analytical skills and apply this knowledge to your analysis of economic policy.
You'll receive training in advanced methods, particularly mathematical and statistical, through the methodological pathway of modules we offer. You'll also be able to apply these methods to a variety of economic problems in modules in the applied pathway.
In your first year you will be introduced to foundational economic principles and theories and develop your core quantitative skills in mathematical methods for economics. You will then build on your toolkit of theoretical and quantitative skills in your second and final years and receive cutting-edge training in analytical methods.
Our degree is designed to give you the choice of which pathway you wish to specialise in. You'll have the same core and optional modules on the BA Economics and BSc Economics courses in the first and second years, so that you can study modules in both applied and methodological economics.
At the end of your second year you will then decide if you wish to pursue the applied pathway (BA Economics), or the methodological pathway (BSc Economics). This will determine the modules you can choose to study in your final year.
We offer you the chance to do a year-long work placement, starting after your second year. This is a great opportunity to get paid work experience with some of the UK's top employers who want to recruit the best students from Sheffield.

Our degrees are structured around two pathways that allow you the flexibility to explore the methodological and applied approaches to economics.
Throughout your levels of study, these pathways will help guide you through your learning so that you can develop your skills and knowledge and specialise in your chosen pathway in your final year.
Methodological Pathway:
These modules will train you in theoretical, mathematical and statistical methods and you will learn how to to use these tools to analyse economics issues.
Applied Pathway:
These modules provide you with the skills to analyse the economic issues that you're most interested in, whether related to individuals, firms or governments, using the methodological tools you have learned throughout your degree programme. In your final year, you will have the option to specialise in this applied pathway and change your degree to BA Economics.
