The Department

The Department of Economics offers a comprehensive range of approximately 35 papers at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Our students can complete their degrees either as Commerce or as Arts graduates, greatly increasing the flexibility of course choices. Economics combines well with many other subjects so that more and more of our students are taking advantage of this flexibility to complete double or joint majors, or double degrees, especially with Finance, Accountancy, other Business subjects, Law, Mathematics and Statistics. A multidisciplinary major and Honours programme in Philosophy, Politics and Economics is also available in the BA. It is also possible to complete a 'minor' in Economics in the BCom, BA, BCApSc or BSc for those choosing to major in another subject. The Department also offers postgraduate qualifications at the Diploma (PGDipCom, PGDipArts), Master's (MCom, MA, MBus) and PhD level.
