The status of the global economy and financial trends are more dynamic than ever. On your course, you'll develop the skills to be able to apply macroeconomic, microeconomic and finance theories and practices in the context of global social responsibility. Our fascinating Economics and Finance course aims to develop your knowledge and skills in economic and financial concepts, theories, ideas, methods and tools. Throughout the course, you will explore large-scale general economic drivers and their influences on wealth creation at national and international levels (macroeconomics) and how economic units make decisions and distribute goods and services (microeconomics). You will study a range of interesting topics including economics, management accounting, financial management, investments and financial risk management. This will equip you to be able to extract, analyse, interpret and critically assess economic and financial information, systems and phenomena. You will also hone your mathematical skills, including the ability to manipulate, model, interpret and evaluate numerical data. It’s not solely about stats and figures. Our versatile course enables you to develop your abilities in communication, critical and agile thinking, and problem solving. These skills are highly sought-after in today’s challenging economic environment, as organisations strive to solve increasingly complex business problems. We tend to favour workshop-style sessions over lectures and you will have the opportunity to apply cutting-edge knowledge and skills to real life scenarios. Live briefs, simulations, role play and live case studies will be used to recreate workplace conditions. We adopt ethical and values-oriented approaches to political, social, welfare and environmental challenges in the context of responsible management. Before moving on to your final year, you may choose to spend a year on a paid work placement in a business relevant to your ambitions, increasing your professional confidence and employability. In your final year, you have the option to complete a dissertation, undertake a consultancy project or work placement, or launch a start-up.
