Business works particularly well alongside subjects such as economics, maths, accounting, psychology, law, and politics. These combinations are popular with students considering careers in business, finance, management, and professional services.
You do not need to be a maths expert, but you should be comfortable with percentages, interpreting graphs and charts and basic financial calculations. Our business courses focus more on business decision-making than advanced mathematics.
Business focuses on individual businesses, marketing, management, business strategy. Economics focuses on national and global economies, government policies, inflation and unemployment and economic theory. Many students choose to study both subjects together.
