Business Finance and Economics

University of East Anglia UEA

On this course, you’ll combine insights from economics with those from management, finance and accounting. This gives you an understanding of the economic context in which modern business and finance operates, and the tools to succeed in business life. Compulsory study in economics, statistics, finance, business and accounting is complemented by the option to choose greater depth in any of these areas as your degree progresses. Combining BSc Business Finance and Economics with a placement year, you'll typically spend between nine and 12 months of your third year in a full-time placement, gaining invaluable working experience and employability skills in a relevant area of your choice. Although you'll be expected to secure your own work placement, dedicated staff within the School and the Careers Service will support and assist you throughout the process of searching, applying for, and ultimately gaining a position. Furthermore, support will also be provided whilst you are on placement and when you return to complete your studies in your fourth (final) year. You’ll be based in the School of Economics, and you’ll receive training also in the Norwich Business School. Through the combined expertise of the School of Economics and the Norwich Business School, you’ll learn everything you need to know to start a career in the financial side of business and management.
