Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Economics and Finance (L1N3)

Bangor University

The Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Economics and Finance programme will allow students to combine the study of economics in general with a specialism in financial markets and corporate finance. It will allow them to gain an understanding of the workings of modern economies and the financial markets that lie at their heart. They will study how firms, individuals and governments make decisions that shape society at large. They will also learn how the financial markets, which moderate these decisions, function. In doing so, they will develop skills that will be of great value for their future life and career, including those related to modelling, data and analytical thinking.

Economics will help students to understand how individuals, businesses and governments do behave; and gives insights into how they should behave. At one extreme, economics informs the decisions that governments make about some of the most pressing issues of the day, including climate change and inequality. It informs how businesses make decisions about everything from pricing and advertising to investments in product development and corporate strategy.
