Our economics and accounting degree consists of compulsory and optional modules and a final 10,000-word dissertation. Optional modules are indicative and available subject to numbers.

YouÕll examine how resources are allocated in response to consumer demand, business objectives and government policy, and how incentives are aligned between shareholders, managers and employees.
