Economics, BA (Hons)

Businesses and governments depend on economists to analyse issues, identify trends, and manage uncertainty. Our BA/BSc (Hons) Economics degree explores how organisations and individuals balance wants, needs, and ethics in resource use, creation, and distribution. The programme challenges students to examine decision-making and its impacts on areas such as employment, wealth distribution, government spending, and international trade. Delivered by leading academics, the course incorporates research-informed teaching and celebrates diversity, fostering a transformative educational experience.Key features include triple accreditation from EQUIS, AACSB, and AMBA, positioning our business school among global leaders. After the first year, students can choose between a BA, which uses discursive and statistical methods for broad social and economic issues, or a BSc focused on quantitative economics. The programme offers flexibility for placements or study abroad, and opportunities to enhance employability through internships, volunteering, or the 'Rise at Manchester Met' programme for additional academic credits.
