Years 3 & 4 (Honours)

Year three

If you are studying single honours Economics, you will take four compulsory Economics courses:

• Topics in Microeconomics
• Essentials of Econometrics
• Topics in Macroeconomics
• Applications of Econometrics

You will also take two Honours option courses. These can only be within the subject of Economics.
 

If you are studying a joint honours degree ("Economics and X"), you will take three compulsory Economics courses:

• Topics in Microeconomics
• Essentials of Econometrics
• Topics in Macroeconomics or Applications of Econometrics

You may have further compulsory courses in your other subject; this differs per degree. Any remaining credits should be taken in Honours option courses within either of your degree subjects. 
 

Please note: "Economics with X" degrees do not qualify as joint degrees, as the balance between the subjects is 75/25 rather than 50/50. You will take all four compulsory Economics courses, and may have one compulsory course in your other subject. You can choose Honours option courses within either of your degree subjects. 

Year four

If you are studying single honours Economics, you can choose to either write a 10,000 word Economics dissertation or complete a research project in Economics. All remaining credits should be chosen in Honours option courses within Economics. 
 

If you are studying a joint honours degree ("Economics and X"), you will write a 10,000 word dissertation in either of your subjects. Economics and Mathematics/Statistics students can choose to complete a project in Mathematics. 
 

If you are studying any "Economics with X" degree, you can choose to either write a 10,000 word Economics dissertation or complete a research project in Economics. You cannot choose to write a dissertation in your other subject. All remaining credits should be taken in Honours courses within either of your degree subjects.
