Businesses are hungry for people who understand the core principles of economics. This specialist expertise can help businesses grow, develop and succeed. Our Business Economics BA(Hons) aims to give you a good grounding in the key concepts of the subject, getting you ready to apply economics in the business arena.
The course focuses on three key areas: Macroeconomics, Microeconomics and Quantitative Economics. Macroeconomics gives you the chance to explore how high level factors such as incomes, inflation and consumption affect each other. Microeconomics looks at how individual businesses and even households behave, and how to develop models to analyse them in even greater detail. Quantitative Economics is about developing a range of tools to analyse the statistics and the mathematics behind the theory.
