Economics

Develop economic expertise to shape society's future.

Economics influences nearly every aspect of our lives. From Brexit to wages and wealth, environment and energy, to health and homelessness, so many government and business decisions have economic consequences for us all.

We’ll empower you to understand how these decisions shape and impact our communities. Together, we’ll use economics to develop solutions and tools to influence the world and make a difference.

Turn theory into practice as we tackle pressing social and political issues armed with advanced mathematical and statistical techniques. You’ll gain the knowledge and skills valued highly by employers in a sector which offers excellent salaries and career opportunities.

“What I like most about being a student at Cardiff Business School is how the professors explain the theories and give practical examples. I also love the people around here. People in Cardiff are so kind and everyone is so welcoming to the city.”
