BSc Economics and Management with Year in Industry
About this course
Economics and management with a year in industry provides a broad-ranging degree covering the fundamentals of two influential fields and offering an ideal platform for careers in business, finance, government, and the third sector. Economics provides the analytical tools to understand how consumers, firms, and governments make decisions that determine how resources are allocated, examining microeconomic behaviour alongside the macroeconomic forces of output, employment, inflation, and growth. Management adds the organisational dimension, covering how businesses and organisations operate effectively through strategy, human resources, operations, finance, and leadership, allowing you to understand the effective use and coordination of labour and other resources within real institutional contexts. At King's College London, this four-year full-time programme integrates a year in industry into the degree structure, giving you direct professional experience in a business, finance, government, or third-sector organisation before you complete your final year. This structured year provides professional networks, practical skills, and demonstrable experience that significantly enhances your graduate prospects. You will develop strong foundations in economic theory and quantitative methods alongside a broad range of management disciplines, taught by a faculty with genuine research depth in both fields. With a typical entry tariff of 152 UCAS points, this is a competitive programme at one of the UK's leading research-intensive universities with a central London location and exceptional industry connections. Graduates pursue careers in management consulting, investment banking, corporate finance, the civil service, strategy roles in large organisations, entrepreneurship, economic analysis, international business, and the third sector. Many graduates also continue to postgraduate study in economics, finance, management, or public policy, building on the analytical and professional foundations the degree provides.
