French and Economics | Bachelor's degree | Humanities & Culture | On Campus | 4 years | Bangor University | United Kingdom

You can study French as a joint honours degree with Economics (50% French, 50% Economics). The French part of this course will give you advanced skills in the French language, and a broad range of specialised and detailed insights into the culture, society and history that go with it. The French course has language at the heart of it, with core modules developing the key oral, aural and written skills every year. These modules also foster cultural awareness, which you will need for your year abroad, and later on, for the world of work. A degree that includes Economics will appeal to anyone who wishes to study economic issues at local, national and international levels, while developing practical skills in business, finance and management which will subsequently be attractive to employers in both the private and public sectors. Economics has been defined as the study of human choice, and the impact of choice on the production, distribution and consumption of scarce resources. Microeconomics deals with choice at the individual level, and macroeconomics analyses the economy as a whole. An Economics degree includes a core microeconomics and macroeconomics component, and a specialism focusing on the economic context of business decision making. You will develop an awareness of applications of economics in areas including business management, finance and public policy.
