Who is this course for?

If you want to learn how to apply economics to business issues, this course is suitable for you.

Our core modules require that you have a basic level of business economics knowledge, and a strong understanding of statistics and quantitative methods. You are also expected to have a strong interest in current affairs relating to business, finance and economics.

This degree provides the analytical skills, and theoretical and methodological tools that will help you address the key questions that are central to understanding politics today.

You will learn to look beyond borders to develop an international understanding of politics in today’s increasingly interconnected world, understanding the central issues and trends that characterise twenty-first century politics.

Why are some countries becoming democratic while democracy is failing in others? How is political power distributed in different societies around the world? How has globalisation reshaped state and market institutions in different countries?

• Develop strong analytical skills, learning how to compare political phenomena taking place in different countries to improve your knowledge of contemporary politics
• Broaden your regional and country-level expertise with a range of modules on the politics of emerging powers
• Secure a micro-placement and work on a research project of your interest at a politics related field such as an NGO, a think tank, the house of commons, a political risk consultancy, the civil service or public affairs lobbying
• Benefit from our location within a department with a strong international focus, and our exciting opportunities for work placement and studying abroad.

If you love mathematics, especially modelling and probability, and you are interested in the use of coding, data and IT to solve real-world problems, then you will find this course ideal for you.

As you would expect, the Data Analytics and Actuarial Science undergraduate course sets you up for a career in actuarial science. However, the course will also prepare you for a career in the wider fields of data analysis and risk management, or in investment management or financial analysis.

Traditionally, actuaries have used data to solve problems in the financial risk area. However, the world of finance is being transformed by two major trends – the increase in the volume and types of data and the focus on risk management. This means some problems are now best solved using different data analysis techniques.

This course prepares you for these new challenges. You will explore the traditional actuarial approach to risk management but you’ll also learn about some of the newest areas of data science, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, and their practical application to finance and insurance.

As well as developing your understanding of mathematics, probability, statistics, economics and IT you’ll look into probability modelling, data analysis and the financial markets. You’ll also be able to demonstrate your skills and your ability to communicate your findings in your final year project.

If you want to work in areas that depend on the application of new technology or the introduction of innovative products and services, this is the right course for you.

You will consider the economics of digital business and the characteristics of innovative businesses that succeed in a turbulent environment.

On the Business Management, Digital Innovation and Entrepreneurship course, you’ll gain a broad understanding of business with a strong emphasis on managing entrepreneurship and innovation. You’ll study the exceptional challenges associated with innovations that can trigger massive changes in what is possible within a business.

You’ll deepen your understanding of the processes involved in creating digital start-up businesses from inception to launch. And how both new and established organisations can respond to the opportunities and threats associated with disruptive innovation.

This accredited integrated master’s covers mechanical, computational and sustainable life-cycle engineering in this high-tech field. Over four years, students learn to develop professional engineering skills, with a focus on innovative and sustainable solutions to current and future Aeronautics and Aerospace trends.

Individual and group engineering design projects demonstrate students expertise to future employers. Whilst a fourth year, at master’s level, it helps to transition from study to professional practice.

• Benefit from strong links to industry and exceptional industry involvement in the degree programme. Profit from City’s vision of sustainable engineering, a fundamental aspect in future Aerospace engineering.
• Study in world leading test facilities, including our low-turbulence wind-tunnel and high-speed tunnel belonging to the UK National Wind Tunnel Facility initiative.
