Location
The innovators of the 21st century will bring together arts, science, engineering, humanities and enterprise to deliver innovative products, services and ways of living. They will be team players with skills and qualities that enable them to work across specialisms and cultures.
This course combines in-depth study of economics with interdisciplinary breadth, creative teamwork and entrepreneurial skills. In conjunction with your economics studies, you will apply your subject knowledge by translating ideas into innovative solutions, which may include plans for digital and creative enterprises, both social and commercial.
Your economics units will develop the necessary analytical and quantitative skills for a wide range of careers in economics and beyond. This technically rigorous course puts emphasis on econometrics – the application of statistical methods to data to estimate economic models – and is informed by the school’s research, which achieved a 100 per cent 4* ‘world-leading’ rating for research impact (REF 2014). You will become skilled in understanding economic concepts and applying formal models and econometrics tools to test behavioural predictions using real-world data.
You will come together with students from other innovation disciplines, such as computer science and psychology, each contributing a unique perspective on a challenge as you identify needs and develop ideas. Ultimately, you'll create innovative solutions together.
By the time you graduate you will have a portfolio of work ranging from live client projects to planning your own entrepreneurial venture. You will have learned how to evaluate the potential of your product or service and how to finance it, and you will have a network of peers and advisers who have worked with you along the way.
