Please note that the entry requirements above are for 2014 entry. If you are an international student applying for 2013 entry please see 2013 equivalent qualifications.
This degree programme offers you the opportunity to combine a specialised study of economics with a broad understanding of the functions and processes involved in the management of an organisation. Covering the core concepts, practices and techniques of each subject, this programme also develops analytical, quantitative, computing, presentation and other transferable skills required by the business world and employers in both the private and public sectors. BSc Economics and Management should be attractive to those wishing to explore the interaction between the economic environment and the organisations which inhabit it.
The combination of academic and social life makes for a really rounded experience… and I know that without that experience, I wouldn’t even have made it onto the first rung of the ladder.
