This course builds your knowledge of core topics and different schools of thought in economics. The Business Economics BSc(Hons) focuses on how economics can be applied to business. You will focus on economic analysis of business activities and understand how businesses operate in the economy. You can also choose to study the financial aspects of business and specialist aspects of economics.

Year 1 provides the foundation for the study of economics. The Capitalism module provides the historical background to modern economics. Becoming an Economist explains alternative perspectives in economics. Economic Policy and Principles looks at microeconomics (individual or company decisions) and macroeconomics (national decisions). Economics Quantitatively Treated provides the mathematical and statistical foundations to study economics.

Year 2 builds your knowledge through modules on Macroeconomic Analysis, Microeconomic Analysis, Economics Quantitatively Treated and Competition and the Firm. Macroeconomics covers mainstream and alternative approaches to economic modelling. You will also have the option to study abroad at one of our partner universities.

In Year 3, Economics of Organisations and Strategy explores strategic decision-making in companies, economic analysis of organisational structures and the development of business organisations. In Working as an Economist you will focus on a topic in business economics, and develop your research, writing and communication skills. You will study another two core modules and choose two optional modules.
