Keep your career options flexible with this BSc Economics and Management degree. Building your understanding in both economics and management, you will be in a strong position for economist roles or a wide range of careers in consultancy and management.<br/><br/>Covering all the essential components of an economics degree together with core business and management modules, you will learn to understand how organisations behave, compete and implement change – both internally and externally.<br/><br/>You will be taught by leading academics who will share the latest ideas from their research and professional best practice, while also giving you an excellent grounding in core economic theories and management thinking.<br/><br/>From looking at how behavioural economics can be used to encourage people to save more for their pensions, to exploring how economic policy can help us understand and tackle income equality – the skills and knowledge you graduate with will make you highly sought after by today’s employers.<br/><br/>You will be well equipped to help the organisations you go on to work with (or create yourself) to use economics to create positive and lasting social, environmental and economic change.<br/><br/>**Engaging and topical modules**<br/>There are a variety of choices built into the course, so you can focus on the areas that interest you most – from financial economics to management science.
