Economics touches all aspects of life. In King's Economics program, you'll develop a better understanding of how resources are produced, distributed and used, and how this affects us on every level, from the personal to the global.
You’ll begin by learning the core principles of microeconomics and macroeconomics, and get a valuable balance of theory and application. You’ll benefit from our faculty’s range of viewpoints and leading-edge understanding. As you progress, you can apply this knowledge across a wide range of fields, including finance, trade, health economics, labour economics, environmental economics, sports economics, economic development, and public policy.
Economics is part of King’s unique School of Management, Economics and Mathematics (MEM), and you’ll learn with faculty and peers across related disciplines, including BMOS, Mathematics and Statistics, and Analytics & Decision Sciences (ADS). This integrated environment encourages investigation from multiple perspectives and combining theory with tools from quantitative analysis and strategic decision-making. Through the interdisciplinary pathways and the wide range of courses offered, you can choose options that are more career-oriented, equipping you with practical skills for the workforce, or more academic, preparing you for graduate study and research.
Expand your options with a double major. Or explore related programs in Financial Economics or Finance.
