Business Management and Economics
Roehampton Campus, United Kingdom
Overview
Prepare yourself for a career in business management or in any organisation that values an awareness of economic issues.
Skills
Make your mark with the professional business skills that matter most to employers.
With our BSc Business Management and Economics you'll gain in-depth knowledge of organisations and their environments, including their relationships to society. You'll explore key theories and concepts in economics and their application in international business.
You'll gain a solid understanding of:
- Managing people, operations, logistics, marketing and business ethics
- How businesses operate in a multicultural environment
- Organisational behaviour
You’ll learn how to identify and solve problems and to communicate your ideas with impact. We’ll also help you to increase your employability through annual Business Readiness modules.
As your project management and leadership skills grow, you’ll develop the commercial acumen, emotional intelligence, and self-reflection you need to realise your goals.
And you can put these skills into practice with an optional work placement after Year 2. Fully supported by our Placement Office, this is a chance to gain real-world experience before you graduate and get paid while you make valuable connections.
