Economics Reading List

For prospective students

We advise you to read the Economics subject page thoroughly.

For offer holders

For reading before you start the course, the best text to read in preparation for studying Economics is D. Begg, R. Dornbusch and S. Fischer, Economics, McGraw Hill (2005).

If you studied in a different qualification system and would like to consult an A level Mathematics textbook, we suggest L. Bostock and S. Chandler. Core Maths for Advanced Level. 3rd edition. Cheltenham: Nelson Thornes (2013).

For more information, please consult the the Faculty of Economics website, which includes a preliminary reading list for Part I. See the links below.
