Undergraduate
BSc Economics and Management
Is this programme for me?
This
degree is for you if you:
-
wish to obtain a general education in
those disciplines that underlie the theory and practice of
management, while still specialising in economics
-
are interested in general management or if you
want to pursue further training in management and
corporate disciplines.
Programme aims
To
provide an in-depth study of economics with management
options that will enable you to look analytically and
critically at management issues.
Programme structure
The degree consists
of 12 units when taken through the Standard Route and 9 units
through the Graduate Entry Route.
Prestige and career progression
The
programme has been developed by academics at the London
School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), regarded
as an international centre of academic excellence and
innovation in the social sciences. This degree will
prepare you for a career in accountancy, banking and
general management.
Flexible study at a reasonable cost
You have
between 3-8 years to complete the programme (or a minimum
of 2 years on the Graduate Entry Route). The total fee
payable to the University is around £3,000 if you complete in the
minimum study period. The Graduate Entry Route costs just
over £2,200 if you complete in 2 years.
Study materials
The study materials will
include:
· Studying for a Degree in the
Humanities and Social Sciences
· Student handbook
· Subject guides (offering advice on how
to use textbooks)
· Past exam papers and Examiners' reports
· Regulations
You need
to provide your own textbooks - they provide the main
focus of your studies - so before you register for the
programme the University will advise you to consider the
facilities available to you locally, and how accessible
books are likely to be.
Study support and online
resources
You can
either study independently at a pace that suits you, or
enrol for additional classes at a local institution
(either full time or part time) and benefit from the more
formalized support this provides.

If you do not have traditional 'A' levels or their equivalent, the Access route has been designed to provide you with an entry route to the degrees in the fields of Economics, Management, Finance and the Social Sciences. The Diploma in Economics, a qualification in its own right, similarly provides an entry route to these degrees (please note that for the Diploma in Economics attendance at an institution that has been given 'permission to teach' by the LSE is compulsory).
