Economics Courses
As a business economist, you’ll make decisions that count. A new product launch, a venture into overseas markets, the introduction of innovative technology - all benefit from the skills, vision and analytical thinking of the economist.
In the College of Business, we nurture bold, forward-thinking economists who can bring strategy, efficiency and change to any organisation, whether it’s an international business, a government department or a charity.
You’ll apply latest economic theory to solve real problems for real businesses. You’ll harness up-to-the-minute data and analytical tools in our brand new Bloomberg Financial Markets Lab. You’ll be challenged by work placements, consultancy projects, business panel debates and trading competitions.
