BSc Economics and Business Management
About this course
Economics and business management is a degree that combines rigorous economic analysis with the practical knowledge of how organisations are led and developed. Economics gives you the theoretical tools to understand how markets work, how firms and individuals make decisions, and how macroeconomic forces shape the environments in which businesses operate. Business management applies these insights to the real challenges of strategy, operations, marketing, finance, and leading people in organisations that must perform under competitive pressure. At Newcastle University, this three-year full-time degree brings together economic analysis with a range of management modules from the University of Southampton Business School, combining the research strengths of two strong institutions. You will develop essential skills for managing a successful business while also building the economic literacy to understand the broader environment in which businesses operate. The programme also offers the opportunity to gain a Bloomberg Markets Concepts qualification, providing a credential in financial market knowledge that is widely recognised by employers in finance and business. A sandwich year, year abroad, and work placement opportunities are built in, giving you substantial professional and international experience. The typical entry tariff is 152 points. Graduates from economics and business management programmes are well placed for careers in management consultancy, financial analysis, banking, corporate strategy, economic research, and business development. The Bloomberg credential adds particular value for those interested in financial services or roles where market awareness is important. Postgraduate study in economics, business administration, finance, or public policy is a natural continuation for those wishing to develop specialist expertise.
