Description:

Are you interested in current affairs and politics? Do you want to know more about the important role different economies play in politics and international relations? Our Economics and Politics joint honours programme provides a thorough grounding in core political and economic concepts

Our academics in Kent’s School of Economics are internationally recognised for their research and are exciting and innovative teachers who place a particular emphasis on making economics relevant to the real world.

As a Kent Economics and Politics student, you develop the skills to analyse and discuss crucial areas in the discipline and are challenged to contribute and defend your own theories and solutions.

Our degree programme

In your first year, you are introduced to economic theory and practice as well as to the fundamentals of political science. You then move on to learn about different research methodologies including statistics that are relevant for both disciplines.

During all stages of your studies, you have the opportunity to choose specialist modules that suit your interests and include topics like financial crises, policy analysis, mathematical economics, political economy, and the politics of the European Union.  

Year in industry

You have the option to take this programme with a year in industry. For more details, see Economics and Politics with a Year in Industry.

Study resources

You have access to a wide range of topical journals and books in hard copy and digital format through Kent’s Templeman Library. You can also view materials in the European Documentation Centre, a useful source when studying European politics.

Your designated academic adviser provides guidance for your studies and academic development. At the School of Economics, we also run a peer mentoring scheme where experienced final-year students offer advice and support to new students.

Kent’s Student Learning Advisory Service offers useful workshops on topics like essay writing and academic referencing.
