BA in Economics with Management with Study Abroad

Our BA Economics with Management expands on the core Economics degree. Alongside the fundamental theories and techniques of Economics, you’ll study selected modules in finance, business, accounting and management. Tailoring your degree in this way will help give you the knowledge and skills to support a career in your particular area of interest.

Year 1

Economics with Management expands the core of the Economics degree to include one further compulsory module entitled People, Management and Organisations, plus two further optional modules, which could include:

  • Accounting and Finance in Business 
  • New Venture Creation
  • Marketing Principles
  • One module is chosen from another department, which could include a foreign language.

Year 2

In the second year, you study five compulsory modules investigating Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Economic Data Analysis, Managing in a Global Environment, and Entrepreneurship, and choose one further optional module from a selection that currently includes:

  • Business Competition 
  • Corporate Finance
  • European Economics
  • Intermediate Methods for Economics and Finance
  • One module is chosen from another department, which could include a foreign language.

Year 3

In an increasingly globalised world, a period of international study is a major benefit and can help you to stand out in a crowded job market. All of our business degrees offer you the option of spending your third year studying abroad at one of our international partner universities. This is an opportunity to develop foreign language skills, experience another country and learn about its culture. 

Opportunities for study abroad are currently available in Australia, Canada, Chile, China/Hong Kong, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden and USA. Funding may be available through scholarships offered by the host institution, the British Council and/or other funding bodies.

The offer of a place on a ‘study abroad’ degree does not imply that Durham University Business School guarantees to place the student with one of its partner institutions, nor a partner of the student’s choice. All study abroad programmes are subject to approval by the Business School. Some partner relationships have restricted access and so are not available to all students. The Business School, in association with the University, will assist students in applying for a study abroad place, but it is the responsibility of the student to apply for such a place and the right of the Business School/University to allocate students to available places as it deems best. In the event that a student is unable to obtain a study abroad place, transfer to the equivalent ‘non-study abroad’ programme is guaranteed provided the student is eligible to transfer on academic grounds. In line with Home Office rules, students from outside the EU will transfer onto the ‘with business placement’ programme only once they have successfully secured a placement (normally at the end of their second year of study).

The Study Abroad year fees are set annually by the University. For the definitive amount of the Study Abroad year fees payable please contact our Study Abroad Team.
