As a BA Economics, Politics and International Relations (Study Abroad) graduate, you will be prepared for a career in public policy, international organisations, and non-governmental organisations (NGOs). You will explore the complex connections between political sciences and economics, emphasising critical thinking, analytical skills, and a deep understanding of global issues. Our students receive comprehensive training that allows them to work with professionals of any level of economic training.

Why Lancaster?
We will provide you with a perfect blend of theory and practice, covering topics such as:
  • How can we measure inequality or the impact of climate change, and what should we do about it?
  • What impact does war have on the global economy?
  • Are education or healthcare investments like other forms of investment?
  • How do you measure the success of a political voting system?
  • Can you reform some institutions to make your country or corporation wealthier?
The BA Economics, Politics and International Relations provides you with the analytical skills and intellectual toolbox to help answer these pressing economics questions and many more. You will learn how to interpret data, understand (and quantify) the decisions made by individuals, organisations, and governments, and evaluate public policy both nationally and globally.

This degree connects the analytical skills of economics with insights and ways of thinking from politics and international relations. It begins by introducing the foundational principles of economic theory, international relations and politics.

Year one will cover the fundamentals of economic theory and practice, politics in the modern world, and the fundamentals of international relations.

Years two and four allow you to choose modules from across economics, politics, and international relations. As your degree progresses and you discover more about both the subjects and about yourself, you can flex this course in ways that speak to your changing interests and strengths. For example, this might lead you to choose modules in growth and development or international trade and business amongst other specialisations.

Your third year is spent abroad at one of our global partner institutions. This can be a valuable experience to develop your global outlook, expand your professional network, and gain cultural and personal skills.
