What it isEconomics is the study of how people, businesses, and governments make decisions about money, resources, and trade. You'll learn theories and tools to analyze why markets work the way they do, from individual spending habits to national policies. This program suits people curious about how the world's financial systems operate and who like working with data and logic to solve real-world problems.You study the mathematical and economic theory behind financial markets, investments, and economic systems. This combines rigorous mathematics with economics and finance, giving you tools to analyze real-world economic problems and financial instruments. The co-op option lets you alternate between classroom and paid work terms with employers, building practical experience alongside theory. This program suits people who want depth in quantitative analysis and enjoy connecting abstract math to how money and economies actually work.A social sciences degree at King's combines the study of people, societies, and human behaviour through subjects like history, politics, economics, psychology, and sociology. You choose a major or specialization within one of these fields — for example, criminology, social work, or economics — and develop deep knowledge in that area while taking supporting courses across the social sciences. This program suits students curious about how societies work, why people act as they do, and what shapes institutions and policy.You enter this program without committing to a specific major, taking first-year courses across subjects like English, history, psychology, philosophy, and sociology. This gives you time to explore different areas of arts study before declaring a focus at the end of year one, rather than applying directly to a named program. It suits students who are interested in humanities and social sciences but unsure which direction fits them best.
