哈德斯菲爾德大學(xué)

Why study Economics and Politics? In today’s globalised society, economics and political systems have become increasingly interlinked. This course gives you the chance to study both disciplines together, understanding how the theory relates to what’s going on in society today, and how it affects the social, political and economic problems that societies are facing. On this course you’ll study modules from both politics and economics. The economics side of things will help you understand how resources are distributed and used from both a macroeconomic and microeconomic perspective. This will involve statistics and assessment tools used by today’s economists to analyse policy and international trends. The politics modules will include topics such as the study of political institutions, as well as the social and political issues that are affecting us nationally and globally. We also received 100% overall student satisfaction for politics in the National Student Survey 2020. How will you learn? * At Huddersfield, politics isn’t simply a theoretical discipline; it’s a subject where you’re encouraged to get active, take part and make a difference. * We’ll provide you with the opportunity to gain work experience by going on a placement in your second year, working in a political setting. You could be working for an elected representative, local government or a charitable organisation. * You’ll benefit from guest lectures delivered by Members of Parliament and other political figures, engage with student-led debates and you could take part in the active student Politics Society. * If you choose to study the four-year sandwich course, you could also take a year-long placement as a full-time employee in a business. * We’ll help you develop personal, professional and academic skills that could make all the difference when pursuing your chosen career.
