العربيةالعربيةThe current business environment is strongly orientated towards well-trained and effective marketing personnel. The BA (Hons) in Business Economics award arose as a result of the demand from employers for graduates with practical marketing skills underpinned by an understanding of the wider business framework, whether in the context of commercial, industrial, professional or sector organisations. The course is designed to equip the graduates with the skills and knowledge to give them a head start in their career in marketing.
The BA (Hons) in Business Economics and the Business Economics Diploma in Higher Education is awarded by Cardiff Metropolitan University, UK.
The award is a combination of economic and business principles focusing on macro and micro details of the economy and the international influence. It explores the various aspects of economic principles in relation to the business environment. Students are expected to gather and interpret data, construct and deconstruct models, analyse problems and propose solutions, and describe and interpret economic situations. Moreover, students will also have a glimpse of other business modules such as entrepreneurship and enterprise, finance and financial planning, business development, strategic management and investments. Furthermore, work experience with personal development planning forms part of the award structure.
After the completion of the award, there are a multitude of possible career choices for students. The transferable skills acquired on the course are highly attractive to employers, making business economics graduates highly marketable. The business orientated applied economics on this award provides a solid foundation for careers as business economists and more general business management careers.
The BA (Hons) in Business Economics can be achieved over a minimum period of 4 years.
