The BA Economics and Management at The University of StrathclydeÊaims to understand the activities of the different agents in the economy Ð consumers, producers and the government Ð and how they all fit together.

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.

Whether the challenge is developing profitable new products or improving the health of our nation, the answer often comes down to management.

YouÕll study an Introduction to Economics and take core classes in microeconomics and macroeconomics. YouÕll build upon this knowledge in later years.

In your final year, in addition to classes that complement macroeconomics and microeconomics studied in previous years, youÕll also undertake a dissertation.
