Why this course?

Business analysis applies advanced analytical methods to business problems to help managers make better decisions.

Technology is at the heart of all modern business.

Organisations need business graduates with expertise in business technology. Business analysts have an excellent general awareness of how a business works. They’re also able to apply advanced analytical methods to deal with specific management issues.

Following the recent global economic crisis, economics is more important and relevant than ever. Decisions on money, banking, interest rates, taxation and government spending affect us all, with global consequences.

Economics aims to understand the activities of the different agents in the economy – consumers, producers and the government – and how they all fit together.

Our degree will give you the ability to explain complex data in simple terms to different audiences. You’ll also develop excellent mathematical, statistical and problem-solving skills.

Assessment

The majority of classes involve a final unseen exam which is normally at the end of the semester. This is normally supplemented by individual and/or group coursework.

Students normally have one opportunity to be re-assessed for a failed class. Exam resits normally take place during the summer.

A range of assessment techniques are used including:

• business reports
• case studies
• essays
• presentations
• individual and group projects
• learning journals
• peer assessments

Business Analysis & Technology

The best performing companies look for very high levels of problem-solving ability, numeracy, technology, business awareness and teamwork in their new employees.

Business analysis & technology delivers this to a much greater extent than many other courses in business and management.

Economics

Economists can work across many different industries and often go on to specialise in individual areas, such as agriculture and manufacturing.

Recent Economics graduates have gone on to work in accountancy and business services, retail and investment banking, insurance, government and industry, with job titles such as economist, auditor, management accountant, business analyst, investment analyst, risk consultant and commercial manager.
