About this course

Economics and management together provide a powerful lens on how organisations work, how markets function, and how decisions made at every level, from individual firms to national governments, shape the world that people live and work in.

Management introduces the practical disciplines of strategy, finance, operations, leadership, and organisational behaviour. Studied together, they give you a grounding that is both analytically rigorous and practically relevant. The programme at the University of Portsmouth is a four-year degree that includes a sandwich year with a work placement and a year abroad, providing professional experience and international perspective alongside the academic content. The course is structured to build your knowledge progressively,
