The Economics and Management undergraduate degree provides a deep understanding of how the economy and corporations function, how resources are allocated and how incentives are aligned between shareholders, managers and employees. Economics examines how consumers, firms and governments make decisions which eventually determine the allocation of resources and output growth. Management is concerned with the organisation and coordination of the activities of a business in order to achieve defined objectives. In the final year, students will have the opportunity to choose from a range of management courses such as Entrepreneurship and Small Business Ventures, International Marketing and Strategic Management, along with specialist courses in economics.
