Economics and Business with East European Studies with a Year Abroad

This programme will equip you with transferable knowledge and skills in economics and business studies combined with an application of these disciplines to the east European region. You will have the opportunity to learn an east European language and to spend a year studying at a university in the region.

In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 0.5 or 1.0 credits, adding up to a total of 4.0 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 1.0 credit is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

You will take compulsory modules in economics and business in years one and two, with a compulsory dissertation in your final year. In each of these years you will choose the remainder of your modules from options in economics, politics, sociology, international relations, mathematical and statistical methodology and language.

You will be strongly encouraged to learn an east European language, with a view to spending your year abroad in a country of the region. Not only will you be able to make use of our excellent language teaching resources, but you will also have access to the foreign language resources of the SSEES Library.

Your third year is spent abroad studying at a university in the region. During your year abroad you will be expected to develop your language skills where appropriate, to take modules (in English) related to your degree and to develop an enhanced understanding of relevant country-level issues.
