Modules

Year one In your first year you’ll gain a broad understanding of economic concepts, before delving deeper into the theoretical principles that guide consumers, producers, governments and world markets. You’ll get a solid grounding in legal principles, such as the English legal system and contract law. As a leading Business School we also think it’s essential that you understand the law relating to the corporate world as soon as you begin your studies, in order to enhance your understanding and knowledge of the business and economic world. Year two In the second year you’ll examine economic perspectives and policies in more depth. You’ll look at subjects such as sustainability and diversity through an economic lens, and explore ways to encourage business innovation and protect the environment through lobbying decision makers. You’ll also be given practical training on how to use and analyse data to measure how well markets are performing. You’ll develop your understanding of modern HR issues within employment law, through practical interview role-plays and problem-solving tasks. You'll also look at how human rights and international law affect our lives as individuals, as well as the position of different countries on the world stage. Year three In your final year you’ll take a global perspective on economics as you study advanced economic issues such as international trade, how exchange rates affect migration, corruption, and policies affecting developing nations. You’ll study entertainment, media and intellectual property law, and look at how the media can be used to influence various agendas. You’ll also build on your knowledge of human rights, and explore an in-depth topic that’s of particular interest to you through a research project.
