Laura Hopkins
BSc (Hons) Economics & Politics
“I chose Bath because of its excellent academic record and sports facilities. I also love the city and the fact that the University is quite a lot smaller than others.
Economics & Politics complement each other well as subjects to study and help to explain the workings of the world around us. I have come to realise that I enjoyed Economics more, and so have been able to choose units to reflect this as there is a lot of scope for options in the course.
My best experience at Bath has been to undertake a year-long project in my final year, where I have been able to blend all the skills I have developed throughout my University career and tackle an up-to-date research issue.
I have gained experience in modern econometric modelling and software packages, as well as learnt how to handle data and use theory to guide an investigation. I couldn’t recommend this more to future students!”
