Course summary

OVERVIEW Businesses and governments rely on economists to help them examine issues, identify trends and deal with uncertainty. By studying our BA/BSc (Hons) Economics degree, you’ll explore how organisations and individuals balance wants, needs and ethics in using, creating and distributing resources. Throughout the course, we’ll challenge you to think about choices people make and how those decisions affect every aspect of our lives. You’ll explore everything from employment to distribution of wealth, government spending to international trade. Teaching influenced by experience We have an excellent mix of academics leading in their areas, allowing us to shape the course around research informed teaching. You’ll be part of a department that celebrate diversity in its staff and students. This enables us to provide you with a transformative educational experience. FEATURES AND BENEFITS

  • Triple accredited – our business school holds the globally recognised trio of accreditations from EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA, placing us among the best business schools in the world.
  • Study your way – after year one, you decide whether you want to achieve a BA or BSc. The BSc route is a brilliant option if you want to specialise in quantitative economics. If you stay on the BA route, you will use both discursive and statistical method to explore a broad range of social and economic challenges.
  • Choose a placement or study abroad – the course offers real flexibility as you will enrol on the three-year course and then decide if a placement or overseas study is right for you once you have started your studies, so you don’t have to decide now.
  • Enhance your employability – through activities including internships, volunteering or learning a new language. With our award-winning ‘Rise at Manchester Met’ programme, you can gain extra academic credits towards your degree.
