An Economics and Management undergraduate degree examines key world issues: namely how the economy and businesses function, and how resources are allocated and coordinated to achieve an organisation’s objectives.
Economics and Management are ideal intellectual partners. Economics is the study of how consumers, firms and governments make decisions that together determine how resources are allocated. Management considers the interrelationship and interactions between distinct parts of an organisation, and between the organisation and its environment. Management students also look at theories, models and frameworks in order to understand how managers behave and to consider their role in the process of decision-making.
Although the Economics & Management degree is taught jointly with the Saïd Business School, it is not a Business Studies degree. It is taught as an academic subject within the Social Sciences Division of the University. This means you will be learning through traditional academic means of working on problem sets, reading, discussing and writing essays on subjects set by your tutors each week.
