Graduates with an economics qualification are needed to address the problems and challenges that are facing business, government and society today.
Choosing economics will give you an excellent foundation for a career in business, finance, government, teaching and the media, and for doing further study in business courses such as marketing, management and computing. The teaching approach that we use will prepare you for working in the knowledge economy.
You do not need to have Economics in the Leaving Certificate to study Economics at UCC.
Written exams will take place before Christmas and in May. Not all modules will have formal examinations. Many modules use other types of assessment including:
- writing economic reports
- making presentations
- undertaking group projects
- presenting a final-year dissertation
