Business with Economics BSc (Hons)

Master the science of economics while gaining added business know-how on our combined Business with Economics degree in Cambridge. You’ve set your sights high and want a course that connects you with up-to-the minute ideas and discussions. We’ve designed our full-time Business with Economics degree to match that ambition.<br/><br/>Here at ARU, you won’t just learn in the classroom. There’s the chance to take economics out of the classroom, debating big ideas such as the minimum wage, capitalism and Brexit in our extracurricular Economics Socials sessions.<br/><br/>With an eye on the future, you can also choose to take an optional placement year and add valuable work experience to your CV.<br/><br/>You know there’s more to economics than meets the eye. It’s not just about the numbers, but making sense of those numbers and understanding how society can make the most of its resources.<br/><br/>With economics, there’s never just one way of looking at things. It’s important to be alive to current debates and ways of thinking. You’ll get that as a student in Cambridge.<br/><br/>By studying Business with Economics at ARU, you’ll be looking at the ‘bigger picture’. Together, we’ll explore accounting and mathematics, statistics and econometrics, micro- and macroeconomics. But we’ll also study business more broadly, covering topics such as project management, sustainability, the EU economy and international trade.<br/><br/>As the course progresses, you’ll establish areas of interest that you can develop in your final project. You’ll understand how economics and business, put together, influence organisations’ behaviour and performance – and ultimately impact on all our lives.<br/><br/>These are big ideas. Studying Business with Economics at ARU gives you the space and support you need to grasp them on your own terms.
