Introduction
The first year at Richmond commences like our other BA programs with a pioneering liberal arts program which is inter-disciplinary, encompassing areas such as science and creativity. This program will develop your key transferable skills which include communication and creative thinking. All in addition to a course which will give you a thorough grounding in economic ideas.
You will begin the second year with an introduction to modern economic history, followed by an exploration of the worlds of microeconomics and macroeconomics.
In your third and fourth years, you’ll be able to specialise in electives which appeal to you, as you choose from subjects such as Sustainable Strategic Management, Policy-Making in a Globalised World and Sustainable Development. Diversity and innovation are shown in courses like Behavioural Economics which will open up more opportunities.
