2.5-Term Pathway - Foundation Certificate for Business, Law, and Social Sciences - Transfer to Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Economics (Including Study Abroad)

Program Description

Build a future by studying in the UK, with a pathway course at Kaplan International College (KIC) London. Situated in the world’s top academic city (QS Best Student Cities 2019), the College will prepare students for a university degree, and for a successful career.

Study at one of the most respected international colleges in London, and progress to one of 8 universities, including the University of Bristol.

The University of Bristol is a highly ranked Russell Group university with a fantastic reputation. Students will join a global community of students from more than 150 countries, and enjoy life in one of the UK’s most exciting cities.

This degree develops analytical and quantitative skills applicable to a wide range of careers in economics and beyond.

Bristol teach economics in a technically rigorous way. Econometrics - the application of statistical methods to data to estimate economic models - is a central component of the programme. During the first two years, mandatory units in macro and micro-economics, mathematics, statistics and econometrics provide students with a strong foundation.

Students will complement this with optional modules from a wide range of choices within the Schools of Economics, Finance and Management and other parts of the University. The number of options increases as students progress through the degree, allowing them to select units from the areas of economics that most interest them.

In the final year most students choose an applied economics dissertation. Students will also select from a wide range of optional units; in recent years these have included Behavioural Economics, Corporate Finance, Development Economics, Environmental Economics, Industrial Economics, International Economics and Operations Management.

The Study Abroad course offers students the opportunity to extend their degree to four years, spending a third year studying economics in English at a university in Europe or farther afield. This course allows students to combine the challenging, broad academic content of the economics degree with an overseas dimension that reflects the international nature of the economy.
