Course Description

This is a dual honours course run by the Sheffield University Management School and the Department of Economics.

Your time is split equally between the two subjects. You'll get a good grounding in both, which opens up different career possibilities.

The mix of first-year topics usually includes information systems, marketing, operations management, economic analysis and economic policy.

In the second and third year you'll get into the core areas of business management, including corporate social responsibility, marketing, organisational behaviour and strategy. You'll also look at subjects such as macro and microeconomics.

There are plenty of opportunities for hands-on experience. You'll look at real-life case studies and you get the chance to do project work, on your own and as part of a team.
