Bachelor of Science (Hons) in Business Economics (Optional Placement)

Program Overview

The study of economics is central to understanding many aspects of commercial and organisational activity. BSc (Hons) Business Economics will provide you with a firm grounding in the underlying theories and analysis of micro and macro behaviour, empowering you with the knowledge and skills to apply this to real-world policy. You’ll learn to understand the decision making process within organisations and develop your critical thinking ready for the business economist environment.

The combination of academic excellence and practical knowledge we encourage on this course will help you stand out when it comes to entering the world of work. The course opens doors to a wide range of career roles including industry economist, financial risk analyst, credit analyst and chartered accountant. Our accomplished and analytically-adept graduates are snapped up for high-flying and varied careers with KPMG, HM Treasury, Ernst and Young, and other organisations.
