In addition to traditional economic models, you will also be exposed to recent behavioural theories that incorporate human limitations to rational decision making. For example, you will discuss the merits and effectiveness of nudging, the desire to help people make better choices about wealth, health and happiness in the most cost effective way. Through our state of the art research laboratory FEELE (Finance and Economics Experimental Laboratory at Exeter) you will also be able to participate in cutting edge research. Economics is a technical and rigorous subject, and graduates leave equipped with a valuable range of personal skills and a broad education. Preference will be given to candidates holding Mathematics at A level but we also look for evidence of report writing skills. Students wishing to pursue a programme with a high mathematical content should consider Economics, Economics and Finance or Economics and Econometrics, and those wanting less mathematical content should consider Business Economics or Economics and Politics. There is no requirement for you to have studied economics before coming to us, as we will not assume any prior knowledge.

A lot of the modules I take focus on practical issues, putting learning into the context of the real world, which is extremely useful in preparing for a future career. I would like to go into the world of Investment Banking, which is heavily focused on real life current affairs, and I believe my course has been preparing me well for this from the outset.
