Business Finance and Economics

About

Course description

On our applied Business Finance and Economics degree you'll learn how firms and consumers behave in different markets, how capital markets operate, and how financial decisions are made in the business world.

You don't need a background in economics for this course. You will be introduced to core concepts such as microeconomics and macroeconomics, and learn how to apply quantitative skills in the areas of economics and business finance.

The degree culminates in an extended research project where you will apply your knowledge and research skills to a topic of your choice that has been covered during the first two semesters.

By the end of the course, you will have gained an advanced understanding of the different perspectives of economics events and debates, how theories are applied to business, finance and industry, the core economic principles and analytical techniques, and the quantitative methods used in economics and financial data.
