In your Economics studies, we’ll introduce you to the basics of economics, at both macro and micro levels. You’ll then apply the concepts you have learned to contemporary social, economic and historical problems, such as poverty reduction and inequality measurement, high unemployment and rising pollution. Hopefully you’ll figure out some of the solutions too. Our creative teaching and learning will help improve your communication and analysis skills. We have a friendly, hands-on approach to delivering our courses, involving you in independent and team work, problem solving and digital literacy.

“I completed my work placement at West Yorkshire Archives. Whilst there I was able to see the day to day running of an archive and talk informally about my career aspirations regularly with the archivist. Lectures were fun and engaging and included activities and group work which added to the learning experience. The University of Huddersfield is a fabulous place to study, the support systems in place make the university stand out from the rest.” Anna Maluk, graduated History BA(Hons) in 2018 and is now a Customer Service Executive at Imperial War Museums. 8
