This programme is aimed at students who wish to understand how economic principles influence the behaviour of individuals, firms and communities, and how institutions can intervene to achieve certain economic outcomes. Students will be provided with thorough foundations in microeconomic and macroeconomic modelling and their applications in subfields (such as trade, health, education and transport). Students will develop skills in data analysis, and be supported in the development of their analytical and problem-solving skills as well as in the application of these skills to understanding real economic issues both past and present. We value critical thinking about economic issues; an ability to cast problems in an economic framework and resolve complex problems using economic analysis tools. Students will be provided with a structured approach to developing skills of analysis, problem design and resolution using economic theory, data analysis and statistical methods, delivered via lectures, seminars, workshops and small group settings in classrooms and computer labs with online support and eLearning content. The degree gives a strong preparation to students for careers in government, private consultancy firms and media, and for postgraduate studies that lead to careers in academia, central banks and leadership roles in industry, public and voluntary sectors.

Curricular information is subject to change.
This is a single major in Economics, where students receive a degree in economics but not in any other subject. It is intended for students who really want to focus on economics and study the topic in great depth.
In your first year (called Stage 1) you take 12 modules over two semesters. For students choosing to take Economics as a single subject, eight of these modules are in economics, and four are in other subjects.
In your second and third years, you also get the chance to take a small number of elective modules from any School across the University during their degree programme.
1 - Understand basic models of microeconomics and macroeconomics as well as their application in selected subfields (such as health, international trade, labour and transport) and be able to evaluate and synthesise economic theories and models
2 - Undertake data analysis using statistical and econometric approaches, and use econometric software
3 - Develop problem solving skills and a capacity to apply these skills in a variety of contexts
4 - Understand the role and development of policy in a number of different settings, and analyse the impact and implications of economic policies on different groups (individuals, households, firms or other agents)
5 - Work individually and in teams to identify relevant research questions and undertake economic research projects
6 - Communicate economic arguments and analysis to specialist and non-specialist audiences
7 - Distinguish good quality analysis and data as well as being able to find literature and data from reliable sources
8 - Design, execute and analyse surveys
9 - Understand and debate different perspectives on economic argument, models, theories and doctrines and have knowledge of contemporary economic issues
10 - Have a broad awareness of related disciplines and fields of study and understand the impact of economic solutions in a societal and global context

If you choose to take Economics as a single subject to degree level you will have the opportunity to immerse yourself in a range of modules that have direct relevance to the development of policies that have made Ireland such a successful economy.
It is not necessary to have taken Economics to Leaving Certificate. Nor is Higher Level Mathematics required. However, Economics at UCD is a somewhat mathematical subject and an aptitude for thinking mathematically and manipulating numbers is required. Students who have achieved a grade less than O3/H7 in Leaving Cert Math (or equivalent) must take an additional math module to provide them with sufficient mathematical background.
In your first year (called Stage 1) you take 12 modules over two semesters. Eight of these modules are core economics modules. You may choose the remaining four modules from across the university.
Stage 2 students progress with a major in Economics. Students also take four elective modules from within or outside their main subject area at Stages 2 and 3 of their degree programme.
At Stage 1 you will be introduced to general economic topics through the Introduction to Economics and Exploring Economics modules, followed by more comprehensive analyses of microeconomics (individual consumers, firms, etc.) and macroeconomics (the economy as a whole). You will gain diverse analytical skills in modules on Quantitative Economics, Data Analysis for Economists, and Statistics for Economists.
In Stages 2and 3 you will develop your skills and knowledge of Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Quantitative Economics and Econometrics (applied statistics). You can also choose to specialise in specific areas such as Health Economics, Transport Economics, Development Economics, Rural and Urban Economics. The choice of module options in this degree ranges from Game Theory to International Trade, from the Economics of Public Policy to the Economics of Human Behaviour.
As a “single major,” you also participate in three workshop modules where you do hands-on research in economics through assignments such as group work, presentations, and a capstone research project culminating in a major essay.
The choice is extensive and the learning experience is captivating. A full description of the programme framework and modules offered can be found in the UCD School of Economics' Undergraduate Handbook at www.ucd.ie/economics/.
Student exchanges are available with the following universities: Tilburg, the Netherlands, Namur, Belgium , La Sapienza, Rome, Italy, as well as in partner universities in North America, Asia, Australia and Europe, including: University of California, Santa Cruz, University of California, Berkeley, University of Melbourne, Australia.
Economics graduates are in high demand – our graduates work in Bank of Ireland, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, KPMG, Paddy Power, Deloitte, as well as different government departments and NGOs.
Economics graduates can expect to have direct access to Economics, Business and Finance Masters.
