University of Essex International College
What you will study
Program Description For students who've finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree. After completing this pathway option students qualify for progression to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree at the University of Essex.
A student’s course length is determined mainly by their English language level (UKVI IELTS score). Students on all course lengths take a set of common or similar modules to gain a solid base of skills for university. Students taking a course longer than 2 terms, will take additional modules designed to improve one or more of their English language level, academic skills, and basic knowledge of particular subjects.
Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - History and Economics
This course gives students a solid education in the history of Britain, Europe and the world from 1500 to present day, whilst also delivering a thorough grounding in economics.
Studying economics provides students with a greater understanding of the world around them; it teaches them how the economy functions, how people make decisions, why an economic crisis occurs and what the different solutions are. The historical content of the course aids this study through developing their ability to absorb, analyze and assess a wide variety of information and viewpoints. Students work with them to break intellectual boundaries and pioneer new solutions to issues of global concern.
On this course students spend equal time studying history-related and economics-related modules, exploring topics including:
• Quantitative research methods • Micro- and macroeconomics • The history of world economics • Colonialism and the British Empire • Apartheid in South Africa
