| Year 1 | Microeconomics Consumers, firms and markets, the core toolkit of economic reasoning. |
| Year 1 | Macroeconomics Growth, inflation, unemployment and what policy can do about them. |
| Year 1 | Mathematics & Statistics for Economics The quantitative foundations used across the degree. |
| Year 2 | Intermediate Micro & Macro Formal models of behaviour, markets and the aggregate economy. |
| Year 2 | Econometrics Regression and causal inference with real datasets. |
| Year 2 | Applied Economics Policy questions, labour, health, environment, analysed with data. |

Course in depth
What this course covers, who it suits and where it leads.
What you'll study
The degree is structured around core theory shared across mathematics, statistics, operational research and economics in the earlier stages, before moving into research methods that show you how each discipline generates and tests knowledge. Applied practice runs throughout, translating abstract models into problems you might actually encounter in industry, finance or policy work. As you progress, specialist options let you weight the degree towards the areas that interest you most, whether that's leaning further into economic theory, statistical modelling or operational decision-making. An independent project gives you the chance to work on a substantial piece of work of your own design, applying methods from across the four subjects rather than just one. Professional skills are also built in, reflecting the fact that this is a degree with clear routes into quantitative careers, so communication, teamwork and applied problem-solving are treated as part of the curriculum rather than left to chance.
Who it's for
This course suits someone who enjoys mathematics not as an abstract exercise but as a way of understanding how economies, organisations and systems actually behave, someone equally happy proving a theorem, running a statistical model, or debating the effects of a policy change. If you're the sort of person who wants to keep several intellectual doors open rather than commit to a single narrow subject at eighteen, the combination of four disciplines will feel like a natural fit rather than a compromise. It demands genuine comfort with quantitative reasoning and a willingness to sit with technical material across mathematics, statistics and operational research alongside more discursive economic argument, so patience and rigour matter as much as raw ability. Expect the four years to feel demanding but varied: problem sets and proofs sit alongside applied case studies and, eventually, an independent project where you set your own direction. It's a good fit for someone curious about how quantitative methods are used in the real world, in business, government or research, and who wants a degree that keeps that door open rather than closing it early.
Careers & job market
Nationally, across Economics courses, 87% of graduates are in work or further study 15 months after graduating, and 75% of those in work are in roles classed as highly skilled. These are national Graduate Outcomes figures rather than statistics specific to this course or university, but they give a sense of the destinations typical of quantitative economics-related degrees. National earnings data (LEO) shows graduates from this broad field earning between £26,500 and £35,000 fifteen months after graduating, rising to a range of £26,775 to £37,800 after three years and £36,125 to £51,000 after five years, again, these are national figures across the field, not a promise of what any individual graduate will earn, and outcomes vary considerably by role and sector. The professional accreditations attached to this course, from the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries and the Royal Statistical Society, are particularly relevant if you're considering careers in actuarial work, statistics or data-driven roles, since they can reduce the number of professional exams needed after graduation. Nationally, 92% of students in this field continue past their first year, which is worth knowing if you're weighing up how demanding this kind of degree is likely to feel early on.
University & format
You'll study full-time over four years at the University of Warwick, founded in 1965 and home to around 25,615 students, taught entirely in English. Warwick is a member of the Russell Group of research-intensive universities and holds a Gold award for teaching quality in the Office for Students' TEF 2023. Among accepted students, 90% held A-levels or an equivalent qualification, with the most common UCAS tariff among entrants falling between 224 and 239 points, this reflects what recent entrants actually held rather than a stated minimum requirement.

International students
What applying to University of Warwick from outside the UK involves: fees, English, visa, funding and living costs.
Tuition fees
International tuition is £25,000 / year for this course (from the provider’s fee page). You’re not eligible for UK Tuition Fee or Maintenance Loans, so plan for fees plus living costs upfront.
English language
Most UK undergraduate courses ask for around IELTS 6.0–6.5 (no band below 5.5–6.0), or an accepted equivalent. If you’re just short, most universities run a pre-sessional English course that counts towards the requirement.
Student visa
You’ll usually need a Student visa (Student Route). After you accept an offer the university issues a CAS; you then show funds for fees plus about £1,023–£1,334/month living costs and pay the Immigration Health Surcharge for NHS access.
Scholarships & funding
Many universities offer international/global scholarships (often £2,000–£6,000/yr), check University of Warwick’s funding pages.
Living costs
Budget roughly £1,100–£1,400/month outside London and £1,400–£1,800/month in London for rent, food and travel; the figure also matters for your visa.
Working while you study
A Student visa usually allows up to 20 hours/week in term time and full-time in holidays, useful alongside study, though not something to rely on for fees.
Visa rules and fees change. Always confirm the current requirements with University of Warwick and gov.uk before you apply.
