BSc Economics & Management
About this course
Economics and management occupies a distinctive and practically oriented position within the social sciences, combining a systematic analysis of how markets, firms, and governments allocate resources with an understanding of how organisations are run and how people within them make decisions. Economics provides the analytical framework: microeconomics examines individual choice and market behaviour, macroeconomics looks at economies in the aggregate, and quantitative methods provide the tools to test theories against evidence. Management complements this with a focus on the structures, processes, and human dynamics that determine how well organisations actually function. At King's College London, this three-year full-time BSc in Economics and Management covers the fundamentals of both fields, examining how consumers, firms, and governments make decisions about resource allocation alongside a broad range of management disciplines that illuminate how businesses and organisations operate effectively. The curriculum is designed to provide an ideal platform for careers in business, finance, government, and the third sector, and a year abroad is built into the programme, giving you the opportunity to engage with economics and management in an international academic setting. Graduates from economics and management programmes are in strong demand across many sectors. Financial services, management consultancy, the civil service, international organisations, business development, corporate finance, operations, and the charity sector are all well-established career destinations. The combination of economic rigour and management understanding is particularly valued in roles that require both analytical thinking and an appreciation of how organisations behave in practice. Postgraduate study in economics, business administration, finance, or public policy is a natural next step for those who wish to develop specialist or leadership qualifications.
