Undergraduate degrees in Economics
Economics at Sheffield is about practical economics with real impact.
A friendly, medium-sized departmentWe’re one of the few stand alone economics departments in the north of England and we're not part of a large business school. We’re big enough to offer a wide variety of optional specialised modules, but small enough so that you will get to know your tutors personally and build life-long friendships with the other students on your course. We aim to welcome approx 250 undergraduate students each year. There are also plenty of opportunities to meet with your tutors if you want advice on how to work through a problem or assignment.
