BA (Hons) Economics and Management

To be a business leader, you need to understand both how to run a business and how to make financial decisions that will keep your business profitable. This BA Economics and Management degree will give you the skills to do both.

You'll have the edge in the employment market by understanding the core elements of business, such as marketing, managing people and operations management, and a deep understanding of economic theory and practice.

After your second year, you can apply this knowledge on an optional paid placement. Previous students have worked at the Office for National Statistics, Amazon, or the Department for Energy and Climate Change.
