About this course

Business economics and sociology may seem like different subjects, but they share a common concern: understanding how human behaviour, social structures and economic forces interact to shape the world we live in. Business economics applies economic thinking to the decisions, markets and strategies that underlie commercial life. Sociology examines how people organise their lives collectively, the patterns of social behaviour that emerge, the inequalities that persist across societies, and the causes and consequences of social change. Together they provide a rich analytical framework for understanding organisations, markets and the societies in which they operate. At the University of Glasgow, this four-year full-time programme includes a year abroad, giving you direct exposure to different social and economic environments and the chance to develop a genuinely comparative perspective.
