Course summary

Should a company open a new store? Who gains from interest rate changes? What are the implications of performance-related pay? How to measure the impact of climate change, and what should we do about it? Business economics provides you with the analytic skills and intellectual toolbox to help answer these pressing questions and many more. Programme overview BSc Business Economics begins by introducing the foundational principles of economic theory. The BSc then focuses on economic methods with specific application to business. You will be exposed to subjects of study such as marketing, accounting and finance by choosing modules from within the Management School. You will cover the fundamentals of cconomic theory and practice, and as your degree progresses and you discover more about both the subject and about yourself. You have the opportunity to flex this programme in ways that speak to your changing interests and strengths. This might lead you to choose modules in:

  • International Business
  • International Trade
  • Industrial Organisation
  • Health Economics
Amongst many other specialisations. This leads to a degree unique to you, where you have played a major part in building the degree you want. Key Facts Your economics module choice can also be combined with other modules across the Management School in subjects such as
  • Accounting
  • Finance
  • Marketing
  • Entrepreneurship and Strategy
  • Leadership and Management
such that you can complement your economics pathway in its own unique way. You do not need an A level in Economics or an A level in mathematics to enrol in BSc Business Economics. Throughout your degree, well supply training in CV writing, interview assessment centres and telephone interviews. We are proud of our aspiring economists and aim to nurture the potential in every one of them. Programme outcomes BSc Business Economics (Industry) offers a grounding in the fundamentals of Economics. The most powerful aspect of economics is that it teaches a way of thinking which can then be applied to a specific field. If you want to be a government economist advising on tax or social/welfare costs, you need specific knowledge and skills. The same is true for a career in finance. You need specific finance models how much to invest here, or advise clients to invest there. But the mode of thinking is the same for both: it is the critical, disciplined way of thinking that you will get from an Economics degree at Lancaster University. Economics opens up the world because the critical and analytical thinking skills that it inculcates are applicable to whatever your passion, be they politics, finance, the trading floor, or working for an NGO, all use the same skills.
