Overview
Business Economics BSc sits in a competitive part of the UK market, which works in your favour once you know which departments to aim at. It is a 3 years undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.
Teaching in Business Economics is built around applied projects with real firms rather than lectures alone. We currently work with 34 universities on this course across 30 cities.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.0, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £15.500 to £32.000 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.
Where you land depends on your grades, your English and your timing. Send those three and we will tell you where you stand.
