Course summary


Discover how money shapes the world. Explore how economic and financial decisions impact all of us, from global markets to the choices we make as consumers.

Why do global crises hit our pockets? Why do some companies thrive while others disappear from the high street? And how do governments, businesses, and individuals make financial decisions in uncertain markets? On this economics and finance degree, you’ll dive into the powerful forces shaping today’s global economy – and gain the skills to understand, analyse, and respond to them. You’ll explore how money flows through markets, businesses, and societies, uncovering the real-world impact of economic and financial decision-making. Blending economic theory with hands-on financial analysis, this course helps you make sense of everything from how businesses operate and markets function to sustainable finance and investment. You’ll develop the confidence to interpret data, challenge assumptions, and apply your knowledge to real problems, preparing you for a wide range of exciting careers in finance, business, and beyond. As part of your economics and finance course, you'll: - Build in-demand analytical and problem-solving skills that employers value across finance, business, and many other sectors - Explore how financial decisions affect people and society, from individuals and workers to multinational organisations and governments - Develop a deep understanding of financial markets and business structures, gaining substantial insight into how organisations operate, compete, and grow-
