Business and Management and Economics Bath Spa University

Overview

Course Overview

The combined Business and Management and Economics program at Bath Spa University has been designed to give you an in-depth knowledge and understanding of business and economics, while developing practical and professional skills that you can apply to a wide range of industries and careers.

You’ll explore the economic concepts that shape our world, and learn to view current events through a different lens. This course aims to incorporate modern approaches to the field of economics, amplifying the voices of those who have traditionally been excluded from economic decision-making based on race, gender or ethnicity. You’ll gain a contemporary perspective through a range of reading materials, videos and case studies.

You’ll develop your understanding of the nature of the global forces that influence contemporary decision making, and gain the skills to think critically, and research the world of business.

You’ll be encouraged to challenge your thinking, take new and innovative approaches to problem-solving, and apply your learning to real-world scenarios. You’ll have the opportunity to join student-led research groups exploring a range of local, national and global issues, and optional modules in subjects such as leadership, marketing and law will enable you to tailor your studies to your particular areas of interest.

Careers

A degree in business and economics will provide you with a range of transferable skills and experience that is highly valued by employers.
