Here's what University of Sheffield says about its Business Management and Economics course.
This course will give you a comprehensive understanding of core business issues and the principles of how businesses operate and succeed, paired with economic analysis and economic policy.
This three-year dual honours course combines a comprehensive understanding of core areas of business management, with economic analysis and economic policy.
Your time will be divided between the Sheffield University Management School and the School of Economics - gaining insights from both and providing you with an understanding of the fundamentals of both specialties.
In your first year, you will build up a foundation of business and economic knowledge that will serve you well in the remainder of the course.
You will spend the second and third year learning the core areas of business management, giving you an understanding of corporate social responsibility, marketing, organisational behaviour and strategy.
You’ll also have the opportunity to tailor the degree to your own personal interests, with a selection of economics and business management modules to help you realise your ambitions.
You can choose to delve into micro and macroeconomics, as well as international trade and environmental economics.
From day one, you’ll be supported by our expert teaching staff, developing an unparalleled knowledge of the subject at a theoretical level and learning to apply this to real-life case studies and project work, on your own and as part of a team.
The Management School is Triple Crown accredited by AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB.
This programme is accredited by the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM). Students who study with us are eligible to apply for some CIM exemptions and Associate membership upon graduation from our programme.

University of Sheffield open days
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.
