Overview

Economics & Politics (BA Hons) is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Economics is taught in large cohorts at most universities, so seminar groups and the tutor system matter more than the lecture list when you compare departments.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
