"The combined
degree allowed me
to widen my
knowledge in both
science and social
science fields
which gave me
a full picture of
the international
political economy."

Combined major degrees
Combined major degrees allow you to combine study either of two main subjects (joint major) or three subjects (triple major).
The following combined major degrees involving Economics are available:
NL31 BSc (Hons) Finance and Economics
NL41 BA (Hons) Accounting and Economics
GL11 BA (Hons) Economics and Mathematics
LL21 BA (Hons) Economics and Politics
LL71 BA (Hons) Economics and Geography
LL12 BA (Hons) Economics and International Relations
L0V0 BA (Hons) Philosophy, Politics & Economics
Precisely which courses you study in each subject will vary according to whether you are taking a joint major or a triple major degree. They will also be determined by the requirements of your other major department(s). You will be guided on this when you enrol for your courses.
Year 1
Joint majors: you study 'Principles of Economics' and the appropriate Part I course provided by your other department. For your third Part I module you take either 'Applications of Economic Analysis' or a Part I course from any other department.
Triple majors: you study 'Principles of Economics' and two further Part I courses as required by your other departments.
Years 2 and 3
You take a number of units (or equivalent) in each of your chosen combined degree subjects. For joint majors this is four units in each main subject area. Some subjects have compulsory topics for study but you will also have a good deal of choice within each subject area.
