Program Description
The Brunel Economics and Management BSc offers students interested in careers in management a detailed understanding of how economies and corporations function.
Students will examine how resources are allocated in response to consumer demand, business objectives and government policy, and how incentives are aligned between shareholders, managers and employees.
Specifically, economics studies will give students a broad understanding of the production, distribution and capital formation activities within which organisations operate, while their management specialisation will focus on the coordination and use of materials and labour to achieve defined goals.
Students will also study econometrics and develop sought-after skills in data modelling, and get training in analytical packages widely used by business and financial institutions such as SAS, EViews, Bloomberg, Reuters and STATA.
Brunel offers two study options. Students can choose three years full-time or four years full-time with a one-year professional placement between years two and three that will give them the chance to apply the theoretical principles they’ve learned to a working environment.
The degree is accredited the ACCA and CIMA, which means they’ll gain exemptions from certain professional qualifying exams should they decide to study further to become a chartered accountant.
In a world of integrating global markets, the expertise graduates will get from their Brunel degree in how corporate entities are organised and managed will make them a preferred job candidate to employers in business, finance and government.
