Here's what University of Dundee says about its Business Economics with Marketing and Psychology course.
Business Economics focuses on economic concepts, theories, and principles. Learn how these are applied to various business activities inside businesses or organisations and across the wider business world.
You’ll develop a strong understanding of the role of marketing in today’s multi-channel environment and how marketing fits into a wider organisational context.
In order to become an effective marketer, and be able to allocate resources and tap into growth opportunities, you need to understand all economic factors relating to target markets, particularly around emerging markets.
There are strong links between Psychology and business, in particular marketing. For example, developing a stronger understanding of the psychological behaviour of the consumer.
Psychology is the scientific study of the mind and behaviour. Topics we cover include how babies learn, the way in which people's mental skills change as they grow older, various personalities, and how social group dynamics work. You will also study different psychological disorders.
In addition to exploring these aspects of human nature, you will learn how to think critically and to solve problems. We will teach you to analyse data, write clearly and effectively, and be a confident communicator of science. You will learn how to plan, implement and analyse your own research project.

Budget cuts mean our student experience has gone downhill. In my first year we still had a reasonably busy union with lots on offer but now it’s always dead and most of it is closed. Lecturers who we all prefer due to their teaching style are being let go due to staff cuts. Nobody knows what the fut...

Students are talking about University of Dundee on The Student Room.
Are you thinking of applying to this university?
Before you do, it's a good idea to go to an open day. You can have a good look around campus, getting a better idea of what it's like to study there. You'll meet current students and staff and get the chance to ask them questions.
Universities will list upcoming open days on their websites. Most will also have virtual open days; these are a great alternative if you really can't get there in person. For tips on preparing for open days, check the advice section here on The Uni Guide.
