Economics (Business Strategy) (Hons) London South Bank University

Overview

At LSBU they teach real economics, show you the factors which shape the current economic climate and discuss the theories which can explain recent trends. From questioning fundamental economic concepts by reviewing country or industry case studies to developing economic models to forecast what the future holds, we will make you apply economics from the first day you set foot onto our campus.

From sustainability to cryptocurrencies, the BSc Economics introduces students to the vast range of topics which drive the economy. And then we give you a glimpse of the future, leaving it to up to you to make your own critical judgement of what is yet to come.
