BSc Economics and Management (LN12)

2027 entry | view 2026 entry

Course summary

Our integrated BSc Economics and Management degree allows you to study both economics and management to a high level.

In your first year (and the first half of your second), mandatory units will build a solid foundation in both disciplines. Armed with a depth of understanding, you'll discover what genuinely interests you so you can choose your own path with confidence through the rest of the course.

At least a third of your final year will be in economics units and another third in management units. Beyond that, you'll have the freedom to focus on your preferred discipline or branch out with options in accounting or finance (subject to conditions). You can also choose to complete a management dissertation.

Teaching for the first two years of the course is at our vibrant Clifton Campus. It's here where you'll build a strong understanding of both subjects. From your third year, your location of study will depend on the specific units you choose, but will likely include some teaching at our Temple Quarter Enterprise Campus for units relating to business and to innovation. Here, enhanced links with businesses will help give you real-world knowledge, networks and skills to succeed once you graduate.
