Course summary

The BA(Econ) course is an interdisciplinary course allowing you to specialise in Economics, plus other social science units such as Philosophy, Politics and Sociology. You have the flexibility to either delve into technical units in Economics such as Econometrics and Mathematical Economics or combine Economics units covering inequality and climate change with social science units to develop a well-rounded understanding on social issues. The Finance pathway of the BA(Econ) course is a long-established and popular degree. Taught by experts across the University, including Alliance Manchester Business School, the degree features a broad range of internationally recognised and research-led teaching in accounting, finance, economics and law. You will benefit from experts in business and social sciences on this jointly delivered degree by the Alliance Manchester Business School and the School of Social Sciences. We are well connected with the three main accounting bodies (ICAEW, CIMA and ACCA), along with international businesses, such as PricewaterhouseCoopers, Kellogg's and Rolls Royce. The course offers a flexible and relevant learning experience for anyone considering a career in finance, accounting or banking. Accounting and Finance, and other pathways in BA(Econ) share a common first year, allowing you to switch to a different pathway after Year 1 if you want to.
