Why this course?

Studying a BA Economics & Finance degree at the University of Strathclyde Business School, you'll be learning at a pioneering internationally-renowned academic organisation. We were awarded Times Higher Education UK Business School of the Year in 2016.

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.

Economics aims to understand the activities of the different agents in the economy – consumers, producers and the government – and how they all fit together.

The Finance aspect of this degree will give you the skills for a career in financial services, such as banking, investment management, pension fund management, and insurance, as well as a wide range of business organisations. It will also be invaluable in helping you make personal financial decisions.

Our Finance degrees are unique in Scotland because of the range and depth of financial issues covered.

Assessment

The majority of classes involve a final unseen exam which is normally at the end of the semester. This is usually supplemented by individual and/or group coursework.

Youll normally have one opportunity to be re-assessed for a failed class. For exams, this usually takes place during the summer.
