<strong>BSc</strong> (<strong>Hons</strong>) <strong>Economics</strong><br />
The world <strong>of</strong> business is becoming ever more complex and it is important for potential graduates to understand how the<br />
global economy functions and to gain an understanding <strong>of</strong> the theoretical models and concepts that govern economic<br />
policy around the world.<br />
Economists analyse the allocation, distribution and use <strong>of</strong> scarce resources, and seek to develop an understanding <strong>of</strong><br />
output, employment, income, trade and finance.<br />
<strong>Economics</strong> is one <strong>of</strong> the central disciplines that underpin the study <strong>of</strong> business and management. A degree in economics<br />
will enable you to abstract, analyse, deduce and quantify complex business and social issues and provide you with<br />
significant employment opportunities in a variety <strong>of</strong> careers in addition to working as a pr<strong>of</strong>essional economist.<br />
How can I study this degree?<br />
The <strong>Greenwich</strong> <strong>School</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Management</strong> (GSoM) <strong>BSc</strong> (<strong>Hons</strong>) programmes are delivered full-time, with three intakes per year<br />
in October, February and June. This degree is available to study as an accelerated two calendar year programme or<br />
alternatively, more traditionally over three calendar years.<br />
Our two year degree is particularly attractive if you wish to complete your studies more quickly enabling you to enter the<br />
work place a year ahead <strong>of</strong> your contemporaries. This is achieved by studying 3 semesters per year instead <strong>of</strong> the usual 2.<br />
The traditional three year programme may be a better option if you would like to enhance your learning by gaining work<br />
experience during the longer break periods or simply wish to enjoy a longer break between your studies.<br />
