On the BA Economics (Hons) programme at Birmingham City University, youÕll be prepared for a career in government, business and financial institutions with our comprehensive curriculum, as well as being taught the transferable skills youÕll need to stand out from the crowd when it comes to securing employment.

Economics and its sub-disciplines, such as financial and business economics, is of huge importance when it comes to understanding, and contributing to, the performance and success of a business enterprise of any scale.

YouÕll be equipped with a firm foundation of knowledge about the workings of economic systems, with appropriate tools of analysis to tackle the issues the industry faces in innovative ways.

What's covered in the course?

The programme will not just use economics to explain social, financial and business interactions, but will draw back knowledge and understanding from these related areas, using these to challenge and progress your understanding of economic interactions.

Throughout the programme youÕll be developed into a work-ready graduate, equipped with a range of technical and employability skills suitable for a wide range of positions. Your course will foster your intellectual and moral development, and encourage your personal commitment to the social purpose of becoming a professional economist or business professional.

Throughout the programme, you will receive assistance for your own development through co-curriculum activities including dedicated Employability Challenge Weeks and extended induction and transition programmes.

The University has introduced the BCU Graduate+ programme, which is an extra-curricular awards framework that is designed to augment the subject based skills that you develop through your programme with broader employability skills and techniques that will enhance your employment options when you leave University.
