Our BA Economics with Management expands on the core Economics degree. Alongside the fundamental theories and techniques of Economics, you’ll study selected modules in finance, business, accounting and management. Tailoring your degree in this way will help give you the knowledge and skills to support a career in your particular area of interest.
**Year 1**
Economics with Management expands the core of the Economics degree to include one further compulsory module, Management, plus two further optional module, and provides the opportunity to take a module from another department, which could be a foreign language.
**Year 2**
In the second year, you study five compulsory modules investigating the core issues in Economics and Management, and you will be able to choose a further optional module from a selection of Economics modules, and have the opportunity to take a module from another department, which could be a foreign language.
**Year 3**
In an increasingly globalised world, a period of international study is a major benefit and can help you to stand out in a crowded job market. All of our business degrees offer you the option of spending your third year studying abroad at one of our international partner universities. This is an opportunity to develop foreign language skills, experience another country and learn about its culture.
Opportunities for study abroad are currently available in Australia, Canada, Chile, China/Hong Kong, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden and USA. Funding may be available through scholarships offered by the host institution, the British Council and/or other funding bodies.

The offer of a place on a ‘study abroad’ degree does not imply that Durham University Business School guarantees to place the student with one of its partner institutions, nor a partner of the student’s choice. All study abroad programmes are subject to approval by the Business School. Some partner relationships have restricted access and so are not available to all students. The Business School, in association with the University, will assist students in applying for a study abroad place, but it is the responsibility of the student to apply for such a place, and the right of the Business School/University to allocate students to available places as it deems best. In the event that a student is unable to obtain a study abroad place, transfer to the equivalent ‘non-study abroad’ programme is guaranteed provided the student is eligible to transfer on academic grounds. In line with Home Office rules, students from outside the EU will transfer onto the ‘with business placement’ programme only once they have successfully secured a placement (normally at the end of their second year of study).
The Study Abroad year fees are set annually by the University. For the definitive amount of the Study Abroad year fees payable please contact our Study Abroad Team.
**Year 4**
In the fourth year, you submit a Dissertation (a compulsory double module). The Dissertation module allows you to analyse, in great depth, your choice of research question in Economics. In addition you study one compulsory module in Strategic Management. You then choose a further two optional Economics modules and one Management option.
**Please note: the economics degree is currently under review and details may have changed by October 2022.**
**Placement Year**
You may be able to take a work placement. Find out more: https://www.dur.ac.uk/study/ug/studyoptions/
