Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: L1I1

Here's what University of East Anglia says about its Economics, Behaviour and Data Science course.

Overview

What drives human behaviour and decision-making? How do the choices of individuals and firms shape today’s global economy? And how can data reveal deeper insights into economic trends?

On our BSc Economics, Behaviour and Data Science degree, you’ll receive rigorous training in economic analysis while exploring the fascinating intersection of behavioural economics and data science. You’ll learn how people make decisions—whether as consumers, businesses or policymakers—and how those decisions impact markets, cities and entire economies.

This degree is ideal if you’re curious about human behaviour and enjoy working with data. Economics is broader than many people realise, and this course gives you the opportunity to focus on the areas that interest you most - whether that’s economic modelling, programming and data analysis, experimental methods, or data-driven decision-making. Alongside core modules in microeconomics, macroeconomics, behavioural economics, programming, and data analysis, you’ll have the flexibility to choose from a wide selection of optional modules offered by the School of Economics.

You’ll benefit from UEA’s world-leading expertise in behavioural economics, alongside excellent support throughout your studies. You’ll receive personalised guidance from your academic adviser and our dedicated STEPS module (Support, Training, Employability, Progression, and Skills). Our Learning Enhancement team is also available to help you with mathematics, writing, critical thinking, and time management. Beyond the classroom, you’ll be part of a vibrant academic community. The School Experience Partnership gives you a voice in shaping our teaching and strategy, while Norwich Economic Publications – a student-run journal and podcast – provides a platform for sharing your passion for economics. The student-led Economics Society also offers great opportunities for you to network and socialise with like-minded friends.

Our curriculum is designed to enhance your employability, with real-world applications integrated throughout your studies. You’ll have the opportunity to engage with interesting guest lectures and industry events, featuring employers and successful graduates, to help you develop the skills and insights for a rewarding career in economics, business, finance, policy, or data science.

Overall id say that the inversity is okay, the course is good however the lectuerers arent the best and often times lectures feel quite pointless. Things cost a lot here too, with the laundrette and shop being very overpriced making it hard to budget money easily. However, the camous looks quite nic...

Uni life is very fun. You get to spend time with your friends and they're always there so you don't get bored. Norwich is a very average city but again you get used to it and it's also very historic

Accommodation is definitely good and like a hotel. The library is open 24/7 and the campus kitchen has very good food. My room is amazing I opted for en suite room which is better than others. We share a kitchen which is ok as it can get dirty quickly. But other than that all is good
