The degree provides its graduates with the knowledge and skills base necessary to pursue a range of general business and management careers, as well as to undertake research
in economics and related areas. Around a core of industrial economics and quantitative methods modules, students have a significant flexibility to assemble an individual suite
of optional modules across a range of business disciplines, and to suit their own particular academic interests and career aspirations.
