BSc Management with Economics
About this course
Management with economics is a combination that places the study of organisations and their strategic decisions within the broader context of how economies function and how the social, historical, and political environment shapes what organisations do and what they can achieve. Pure management degrees sometimes treat the firm as an entity in a vacuum, but management with economics recognises that commercial decisions are always embedded in economic and social contexts that managers ignore at their peril. At Goldsmiths, this three-year full-time programme emphasises that wider social, historical, and political context, examining how it shapes the circulation, demand, and supply of goods and services, and how organisations navigate it. You will study the core disciplines of management, including strategy, marketing, finance, organisational behaviour, and operations, alongside microeconomics, macroeconomics, and the economic theories that illuminate how markets and institutions behave. The programme encourages you to think critically about organisations and economies rather than simply accepting dominant frameworks, developing an analytical independence that is genuinely valuable in a world where economic assumptions are often contested. Goldsmiths' location in south London and its distinctive intellectual culture, which places a strong emphasis on critical and creative thinking, give the programme a particular character that sets it apart from more conventional business school curricula. The typical entry tariff is 120 UCAS points, and the degree is studied full time. Graduates from management with economics programmes go on to careers in management consultancy, finance, public policy, international business, the civil service, and a range of commercial and not-for-profit organisations. The combination of economic analysis and management knowledge is valued across sectors. Further study at postgraduate level in management, economics, or business administration is available for those who wish to develop their expertise.
