Studying Economics and International Relations with us gives you the opportunity to learn from some of the foremost academics in the field.  The objective of this course is to encourage you to think and rethink the political decisions that are taking place in our economy on a day to day basis. 

We place strong emphasis on research and use it in the teaching of this course. Your degree is based on the politics that have shaped the modern world and you will learn issues such as war and governance and their impact on the global economy as well as the economics that inform the policies in the country.  If you are interested in economies, how they are run and how they relate to other economies then this is the perfect course for you! 

The study of economics and the study of politics and international relations are closely related.  Within the international system, political and economic factors interact in many ways, and there are also important methodological links between the two disciplines.   This blend is particularly useful because it prepares you for pursuing undergraduate degrees in numerous fields focused around economics and/or international relations.
