Course Description

If you have made up your mind that you wish to pursue a business career, or if you want to work as a consultant or as a specialist business economist in the private sector, this programme offers the spread of subjects that are likely to be most useful. It enables you to supplement the basic economics modules with modules from the Department of Management thus providing a rounded view of business activities. The educational aims of the Business Economics programme are similar to those of the Economics programme. The Business element in the degree indicates that there is a greater emphasis on the more strictly business aspects of Economics, including providing students with the knowledge and understanding of the key areas of business and management; the relationships between them and their application in practice. The Business element also will enable students to appreciate the uncertainties and complexities of business organisations, their environments and management. Nevertheless, we aim to give all Business Economics students a thorough knowledge of Economic analysis, which we consider provides a valuable grounding for Business subjects. Students can also choose some of the more conventional Economics subjects as electives if their interests develop in that direction.
