About this course

Discover how economics shapes organisations & industries. Build real-world analytical skills for business & policy, with options for a placement or year abroad. The BA Management Economics is a three-year degree, or four years with an optional placement or study abroad year. You’ll explore how economic ideas and principles explain how organisations operate, how industries evolve, and how firms make strategic decisions. The course approaches business through an economic lens - focusing on incentives, behaviour, markets and regulation, rather than management alone. The BA Management and Economics degree is for students who want to understand how firms and organisations work, and why they behave the way they do. The course uses economic ideas and evidence to explore organisational behaviour, industry change, and business decision-making. You’ll look at how economic principles help explain management decisions in practice, including how firms allocate resources, respond to regulation, and interact with consumers, competitors, and governments. By studying areas such as competition, pricing, innovation, and organisational structure, you’ll build an understanding of how business decisions shape markets, social welfare, and the wider economy.
