Overview of the Management with Economics Course
This Management with Economics course which provides both a specialised education in economics and a thorough knowledge and understanding of the nature and context of business, the principal management functions and the skills required for effective management in different organisations.
There are specified core modules at each stage, in addition to the economics modules, you will gain a firm foundation in the essential functional areas such as marketing, finance, human resources and management. You will also have the opportunity for some flexibility and individuality through your choice of option modules.
You will be introduced to the basic principles of micro and macro economics in Stages 1 and 2 then you can choose specific applications of economics in the later stages of the course. The course integrates academic study and the development of business management skills in a friendly and student orientated environment.
