What’s the course about?
When big picture questions are asked by governments and organisations on who, when, where and how, economists are often turned to for help. Choosing this commended Hertfordshire Economics programme will develop your understanding on how to think and behave like an economist – developing skills in being logical, focused, and capable of evaluating hard facts and data, dispassionately.
Economist skills are so prized in the modern workplace, that choosing this course will open many doors into different fields besides traditional economics, unveiling a world of opportunity for you. In this technological age already fuelled by big data and AI, those with the ability to analyse challenges, and create solutions are already defining the future.
You will not only learn how economists think, how they analyse, and problem solve. But you’ll also get the chance to consider traditional theories including macroeconomics, microeconomics, and quantitative economics, alongside heterodox methods.
As you progress through the course, you’ll be exposed to a wide range of real-world problems encountered by individuals, businesses, and governments today, and critically, potential approaches to addressing them. You’ll study a variety of perspectives, and are encouraged to think independently, challenging theory where necessary and with good reason.
Throughout it all you are supported by a diverse range of specialist teaching staff, focused on helping you unlock your potential.
Where you’ll study
Hertfordshire Business School and our Enterprise Hub are both located on the University of Hertfordshire de Havilland Campus. You’ll be sharing the campus with those studying business, law, sports, education, and the humanities, as well as the Sports Village, which features a gym, swimming pool, coffee shop, and climbing wall.
There are two dining options, a bar, and a recreational space on campus where you can shoot some pool or play video games. The Enterprise Hub is a vibrant destination where local firms and students can work and learn in comfort.

The student union bar and additional facilities are only a 20-minute walk (or short bus ride) away at our second campus. Student housing is available near both campuses.
What will I study?
This course offers a blend of modern heterodox and more traditional methods in economics. It will enable you to apply a variety of economic principles to a wide range of problems.
