Business and Economics

About this course

Business and Economics is a combination that makes intuitive sense: economics provides the theoretical foundations for understanding how markets, firms, and economies function, while business studies trains you in the practical disciplines of management, strategy, and organisation. Together they give you both the analytical rigour to understand what is happening in an economy and the applied skills to respond to it effectively as a manager or entrepreneur. This combination is particularly well suited to students who want to be both thinkers and doers. At the Open University, this programme is available part-time and through distance learning, making it accessible to students who cannot study full-time in a traditional campus setting. Whether you are working, caring for family members, or living somewhere without convenient access to a campus, the Open University model allows you to fit
