Business Economics with a European language - German (BSc Econ)

The Business Economics degree programme with German provides students with an understanding of economic theory, particularly that which focuses on the organisational and managerial characteristics of the modern business enterprise.

It also aims to provide a high level of competence in German and knowledge of the economy of Germany.

The programme aims to inform students of the main features of the UK industrial economy and the key developments in business.

The programme examines government and international business policy to identify their ramifications for the development of markets and firms. It introduces students to subject areas outside the economics discipline by offering them the opportunity to follow modules in business finance, marketing and other aspects of management.

Through the study of business economics and a language, the programme encourages a range of transferable discipline-specific and core skills that will be of value to students in future education and in their subsequent careers.

Trading Room

The Trading Room is used as part of the BSc Economics and Finance programme but is open to all students, supervised by trained PhD students who will help students to become familiar with the new software.

Students are offered the opportunity to undertake the Thomson Reuters Certification qualification, an industry qualification to prove their ability in using the platform to access all the information that they need.

This five-module training process involves one-to-one training and phone conferences with a Reuters representative.

The Trading Room gives students the opportunity to become attractive potential graduates in the City, where the job market is becoming ever more competitive.

This is due to the fact that some modules have limited numbers of places available, which are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, while others have minimum student numbers required before they will run, to ensure that an appropriate quality of education can be delivered; some modules require students to have already taken particular subjects, and others are core or required on the programme you are taking. Modules may also be limited due to timetable clashes, and although the University works to minimise disruption to choice, we advise you to seek advice from the relevant School on the module choices available.
