Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: LN13

Here's what Oxford Brookes University says about its Economics, Finance and International Business course.

See the world from an economist’s point of view. Understand how financial decisions impact peoples’ lives. By applying economic theory to real-world scenarios, we’ll help you prepare for a career in this field.

You’ll meet people from diverse backgrounds on our Economics, Finance and International Business degree, learning about how different economic policies affect the choices people make and shape their life experiences. And you’ll consider the challenges businesses face when dealing with growth, profitability, and sustainability.

The course gives you essential skills for starting a career in a range of economics roles. There are opportunities for you to pursue specialist routes. You could focus on the world of finance, understanding how markets work and exploring current events, while gaining exemptions from some ACCA modules if you’re thinking of becoming a chartered accountant. Or if you choose econometrics, we’ll help you prepare for a quantitative, data-driven career after graduation.
