BSc Economics and Management
About this course
Economics and management are natural partners. Economics provides the analytical frameworks for understanding how markets, firms, consumers and governments make decisions under conditions of scarcity and uncertainty. Management applies organisational and strategic thinking to how enterprises are led, coordinated and developed. Together they equip you to analyse business and policy challenges with the rigour of economic reasoning and the practical orientation of management science. Delivered online by the University of London, this part-time programme is designed for students who want to develop high-level analytical skills while maintaining flexibility in how and when they study. Distance learning allows you to engage with the curriculum from wherever you are, which is particularly well suited to working professionals or those in locations without easy access to campus-based study. The programme builds economic reasoning and quantitative skills alongside an international perspective on management, developing your understanding of the evolving relationships between industries, markets and economies. You will study microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics and economic theory alongside management modules covering strategy, organisational behaviour, finance and international business. Quantitative methods, data interpretation and the ability to apply economic analysis to real decisions are developed progressively through the programme. Graduates go on to careers in management consultancy, financial analysis, economic research, business development, policy and public sector roles, banking, finance and commercial management across a wide range of industries. The combination of economic analytical skills and management knowledge is valued by employers who need people who can think rigorously about business problems in their broader economic context. Postgraduate study in economics, management or business is available for those who want to pursue specialist or research careers.
