Study the world’s markets, business environments and industries with our BSc Business Economics with a Placement Year degree.
This programme will develop specialist knowledge in business economics.
In the first two years, you will take many of the same core modules as our BSc Economics programme to ensure that you develop the skills and knowledge required to become an economist. You will then acquire specialist knowledge of business economics throughout your second and final years. Going beyond ‘core’ economics, gaining a wider perspective on business and economic issues, you will gain a rich body of knowledge and a range of skills.
Enhance your employability by doing a year-long work placement, in an industrial setting, between your second and final year. A placement is a valuable way to develop your skills, experience the workplace, and build your network.
