The Economics and Management undergraduate degree provides a deep understanding of how the economy and corporations function, how resources are allocated and how incentives are aligned between shareholders, managers and employees. Economics examines how consumers, firms and governments make decisions which eventually determine the allocation of resources and output growth. Management is concerned with the organisation and coordination of the activities of a business in order to achieve defined objectives. In the final year, students will have the opportunity to choose from a range of management courses such as Entrepreneurship and Small Business Ventures, International Marketing and Strategic Management, along with specialist courses in economics.

Additional information

Teaching and Assessment Teaching Hours You will have about 12 to14 hours of directed study a week in Level 1. This number decreases in Levels 2 and 3. Students are also expected to undertake substantial independent study. How will I be taught? Lectures – These provide a broad overview of key concepts and ideas relating to your course and establish a framework from which to carry out more in depth study. Workshops – These are generally used for modules in finance or quantitative subjects. They often take the form of working through answers to a previously distributed assignment sheet of exercise questions. Seminars – These relatively small groups are used to examine the lecture material in more detail, and to analyse and apply theoretical concepts in specific contexts. One-to-one – You will have one-to-one supervision for your final year dissertation, and at all levels you will have a personal tutor who is available to discuss personal and academic problems. If you go on placement, you will also be allocated a work placement tutor who will monitor your progress and provide further support if you need it. Other – This may include guest speakers from prominent organisations, research seminars and external site visits. Assessment Each subject is assessed in the term when it is studied. The proportion of exam to coursework is approximately 75% to 25%, but some courses have a higher proportion of continuous assessment. Level 1 does not count towards your final degree mark. Level 2 is worth a third, and Level 3 is worth the rest. The final year dissertation is worth a third of Level 3 marks.
