Business Economics BSc (Hons) – 2020 entry

Our BSc in Business Economics combines a broad basis of economics with a specific focus on how businesses operate and managers make decisions. While mathematical techniques remain important, business economics students usually study less mathematical and econometric intensive modules when compared to our other economics courses.

All academics within the School of Economics are research-active and some are advisers to world-renowned organisations, meaning our teaching is at the forefront of the field and is influenced by real industry insights.

A Professional Training placement provides you with the opportunity to develop your professional, academic and personal potential, equipping you to be adaptable, resilient, globally minded, confident, entrepreneurial and digitally savvy in the workplace. These qualities are widely recognised by employers and many of our students are offered employment on graduation by their placement provider.

The Professional Training placement year gives our students an insight into their subject and career potential, and early access to professional experience. It can be invaluable in developing work-based skills and helping them secure a graduate career.
