Economics is everywhere - it's at the core of many societal and global issues. Investigate this connection using data science, big data, and machine learning, and you will gain a unique perspective on today's complex world, and open doors to a variety of employment opportunities. Year in Industry students have previously worked at Bank of England, Government Economic Service (GES), Deloitte, Ernst & Young, PwC, and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
Think like an economist, and discover the tools they use to analyse real economic problems. Study modules in macroeconomics and microeconomics together with specific modules on computation, machine learning, and big data. Tailor your degree with our wide range of optional modules to support your career ambitions. You will be challenged to contribute and defend your own theories and solutions.
The Year in Computing and the Year in Journalism are both free-standing, self-contained years and can be taken after stage 2 or 3 (that is, between your second and final year, or after your final year).
You can only apply for a Year in Computing or a Year in Journalism once you are a student at Kent.
