4-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Business, Law and Social Sciences - Continue to Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Economics

If students have finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree.

Studying BA(Hons) Economics will give students a solid understanding of how and why, and the skills needed to analyze issues and effect change across a wide range of areas, including the public sector, think tanks, financial institutions and charities. The BA degree provides a rigorous and accessible economics training to those with less mathematical experience.

UWE Bristol takes a unique pluralist approach to teaching economics. As well as using traditional textbooks, students will draw on ideas from a range of viewpoints and disciplines, placing economics in its broader social and political context. With an emphasis on developing key skills and critical thinking while gaining real-world experience, they'll get regular access to industry and policy-making through placements, field trips and guest lectures.
