BSc Business Economics provides a thorough training in economic analysis with an additional focus on business strategies in the modern marketplace. On this degree, you’ll discover how insights from economics can guide both companies and regulators, to increase profits and to serve the interests of consumers. You’ll become an expert in economic and financial modelling techniques and statistical analysis. You’ll benefit particularly from UEA’s reputation and expertise in the specialisms of industrial organisation and competition policy.
On this Business Economics course, you’ll combine a rounded training in economics with a focus on market environments and on business strategy. Apart from core study in microeconomics, macroeconomics, economic modelling and statistics, you’ll also acquire specialist knowledge in economics of corporate finance and in industrial organisation. You’re likely to also choose modules that explore areas such as labour economics or competition in the digital age. You may then choose to explore other business applications of economics, such as the business and economics of sport, or to broaden your knowledge of economics generally by choosing from the full suite of modules on offer.
You will receive the very best support and guidance through a dedicated module called STEPS (Skills, Training, Employability, Progression, and Support) running throughout your course, as well as through your academic adviser. A university-wide Learning Enhancement team is also on hand to help you with mathematics, writing, critical-thinking, revision, and time management skills.
Employability is the backbone of our curriculum’s structure. Our teaching and assessment provide you with a curriculum that develops and enhances your employability relevant skills and attributes. The course’s syllabus is rich in real world examples and with opportunities for you to experience how the subject and its methods are applied. Guest lectures from graduate employers also contribute to the content of some of our modules. To develop and enhance your employability even further, our employability team organises a wide variety of events, such as: weekly employability workshops, networking and alumni events, one-on-one meetings with top professionals, job coaching and training, nationwide competitions, internships and consulting opportunities, mentoring by former alumni, among many others.
The student-led Economics Society is the perfect place for you to network and socialise with fellow students, whilst our Staff-Student Liaison Committee gives you a say in the future direction and every-day running of the School. The Norwich Economic Publications (a combination of a journal and a Podcast run by students) and the ECO Blog are outlets where you can share your enthusiasm about what you study.
