The unique strength of our course is the clear emphasis on application and critical understanding. As such, we are proud to be the first new university to adopt the new CORE curriculum.

The BSc/BScEcon (Hons) in International Economics & Finance at Cardiff Metropolitan University aims to create highly skilled individuals that are able to undertake analytical tasks rather than just knowing about finance and economics.?

Economics degrees at Cardiff Met were ranked as the best in Wales according to the Guardian University League Table 2016 and 2017. Find out more. The last NSS student satisfaction score was 95%.

Your tutors within the Department of Accounting, Economics and Finance and staff from the Cardiff School of Management are committed to providing you with the necessary support to enable you to realise your full potential.

Modules are typically taught through a mixture of lectures and seminars/workshops and all modules are supported by Moodle, the virtual learning environment.
