BSc Business Management and Economics
About this course
Business management and economics together give you one of the most powerful analytical combinations available in undergraduate study. Management asks how organisations are led, organised, and made to perform; economics asks why markets behave as they do and what the consequences of policy choices are for firms, workers, and societies. Neither is complete without the other, and students who develop expertise across both are unusually well equipped to understand the environment in which businesses actually operate. At Roehampton University, this three-year full-time programme addresses the increasingly complex challenges that managers face: shifting economic conditions, changes in government policy, technological disruption, and evolving social expectations in both the private and public sector. You will study microeconomics and macroeconomics alongside strategy, operations, marketing, organisational behaviour, and leadership. Quantitative methods and data analysis run through the curriculum, ensuring you can interpret evidence and make arguments that go beyond intuition. A foundation year is available if you want a thorough grounding before tackling degree-level content, and a sandwich year in industry is built in for those ready to test their learning in a professional environment. Work placements provide additional practical experience throughout the programme. Graduates from this degree are well positioned to work in management roles across the private, public, and third sectors, and are particularly sought after in finance, consultancy, economic analysis, strategy, and policy. The ability to read economic data and translate it into business decisions is highly valued by employers across banking, government, retail, energy, and technology. Many graduates also go on to postgraduate study, including MBA programmes, master's degrees in economics or management, and professional qualifications in finance or accounting. The combination of rigour and practical orientation makes this a degree with genuine versatility.
