Business Economics

Description

Business Economics is a diverse and fascinating discipline which analyses decision-making by individuals, business, government and global organisations. It deals with important issues such as the behaviour of individuals and firms and their strategic interactions, economic growth and development, the causes and effects of unemployment and inflation, income distribution, industrial organisation, public policy design and implementation, and the means to improve overall efficiency and living standards.

Graduates are employed in positions such as Business Analyst, Economic Forecaster, Economic Researcher, Graduate Economist, Investment Analyst, Management Consultant, Policy Advisor, Social and Economic Policy Researcher, and Treasury Officer.
