| What it is | A three-year economics degree that focuses on how markets, money, and business systems work. You'll study topics like supply and demand, inflation, trade, and how governments shape the economy, alongside some humanities and social sciences courses. This program suits students who want to understand economic forces affecting society and are open to a shorter degree path than the standard four-year option. | This three-year degree combines economics with international development to study how communities build sustainable economic and social systems. Unlike a straight economics program, you focus on real-world development challenges in low-income regions and learn practical approaches to poverty reduction and local growth. It suits people who want to understand global inequality and work on solutions, rather than study economic theory alone. | This program combines the study of global economics, politics, and development issues to understand how countries and communities interact in an interconnected world. You'll examine poverty, trade, governance, and social change across different regions, drawing on economics, political science, and other disciplines. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between classroom semesters and paid work placements with organizations focused on international development or global affairs, making it a fit for students who want practical experience alongside theory. |
