BSc Economics and Management
About this course
Economics and management is a combination that reflects the reality of how organisations and economies relate to each other. Economics provides the analytical frameworks for understanding how markets, firms and governments make decisions, how prices are set, and how the allocation of resources affects wellbeing and growth. Management applies those insights to the practical challenge of running organisations effectively, drawing on theory from finance, marketing, operations and human resources to build commercial judgment and leadership capacity. Together they produce graduates who can think rigorously about economic questions and translate that thinking into practical decisions. At Loughborough University you will study this three-year programme, combining core economic theory with essential business and management study in a way that keeps your career options wide. You will develop competence in microeconomic and macroeconomic analysis, quantitative and statistical methods, and the key areas of management practice. Loughborough's strong reputation for employability and its emphasis on connecting academic study to the world of business mean the programme is designed with graduate careers firmly in mind. Graduates of economics and management are valued across an extraordinarily wide range of employers. Management consultancy, banking and financial services, corporate strategy, public sector management, operations, marketing, and general management roles in industry are all common destinations. The analytical discipline of economics combined with the practical orientation of management makes graduates attractive to competitive graduate employers who want people who can both understand complex problems and help solve them. Many graduates also go on to postgraduate study in economics, management, finance, or business, or pursue professional qualifications in accountancy, finance, or management. The degree's combination of rigour and breadth provides one of the most flexible foundations in the arts and social sciences.
