International Business and Economics

In a globalised environment, economics can unlock answers to some of the biggest questions faced by business and wider society.

Course description

From predicting the impact of Brexit to the implications of globalisation on local demand, the International Business and Economics degree will give you the tools to answer some of the biggest questions faced by business today from a global perspective.

You will develop an understanding of how businesses work from an international perspective, gaining analytical, transferable skills to evaluate international markets, and make informed decisions relevant to the world of business.

The course will introduce you to theories, models and methods in economics, brought to life and contextualised from a global perspective.

You will learn from our business experts at Aston Business School which is part of an elite group of global business schools that hold the gold standard of ‘triple-crown’ accreditation from AACSB, AMBA and EQUIS.

Two members of the teaching team have also acted as assessors at graduate recruitment sessions for the Government Economic Service (GES).
