Analytical study of economies and markets, starting with a preparatory year, is the shape of BSc (Hons) Economics with Foundation Year at the Greenwich campus in London. It is one of fewer economics foundation routes on AF Education than general business degrees, and it sits apart from the business finance courses at the same college. Year Zero entry is five GCSEs at grades A*–C, with each application assessed individually. The university hasn't published modules or placement details yet, so ask your adviser for the current outline. Delivery is full-time weekday study, and the next intake is January 2027. AF Education gives England-resident UK home students free support with the application and Student Finance England.
