Where can this course take me?

In completing the Economics course you will possess many skills prized by both universities and employers.  By the end of the course you will be able to construct logical arguments, interpret and critically analyse data, and be able to make judgements on the basis of the evidence and arguments presented.  Probably more importantly, you will be better able to understand problems in society and the possible solutions to those problems.

Economics will allow you to follow a wide range of professional and academic interests after college.  Some former Queen Mary’s have gone on to work in the Economics profession (Bank of England and Treasury), while other students have used it as a vehicle to gain access to other academic and professional fields: some former students have gone on to do science degrees and the skills picked up in economics allows students to successfully enter apprenticeships.
