Undergraduate study in economics

Our programmes are designed to provide the highest quality learning experience

We take economic decisions every day of our lives, and, in turn, we are affected by the decisions of other people and institutions. Studying the way economic processes work and economic decisions are made helps us understand the society we live in.

The University of Southampton offers several undergraduate degree programmes in economics, including combined/joint honours, to give you the best possible choice.
