Secure your place on an economics degree through clearing
Clearing is another opportunity for you to join us at the University of Plymouth in September
Develop the analytical mindset and in-demand skills to tackle today’s biggest economic questions and graduate with the knowledge, experience, and confidence to influence change in a fast-moving world.
With a strong emphasis on real-world application, we integrate theory with evidence-based analysis, supported by opportunities such as field trips, placement years, and micro-credentialing*. You’ll benefit from flexible study pathways, including a financial economics specialisation, and a wide range of contemporary electives tailored to your interests.
* A micro-credential is proof you’ve learned and been assessed on a specific skill—either on its own or as part of a larger qualification.
