Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Accounting and Economics] From Bangor University

The (Hons) Accounting and Economics programme is offered at the Bangor University.

Economics has been defined as the study of human choice, and the impact of choice on the production, distribution and consumption of scarce resources. Microeconomics deals with choice at the individual level, and macroeconomics analyses the economy as a whole.

Accounting and Economics programme includes a core microeconomics and macroeconomics component, and a specialism focusing on the economic context of business decision making. You will develop an awareness of applications of economics in areas including business management, finance and public policy.
