Browse Hierarchy BUSECO: Bsc Business Studies and Economics

Business Studies and Economics is an area of specialisation within the BA (Economic and Social Studies) degree. Flexibility and choice are the key to this programme. There are 29 different combinations covering Accounting, Business Studies, Development Studies, Finance, Economic and Social History, Economic Studies, Politics, Social Anthropology, Criminology and Sociology. You can decide which is for you as you move through the three years. When you apply you use a specific UCAS code which indicates an interest in that area but does not commit you. It is run by the School of Social Sciences and Manchester Business School. In the first year of the degree all students follow a general and broad programme of study which includes Economics, Politics, the Social Sciences and either Quantitative Methods or Social Research Methods, depending on your intended area of specialisation. In addition, you take a course in computer applications and can choose to take a course in study skills.
