If you're interested in the finance side of business, management and economics, our BSc Business Finance and Economics degree – offered in conjunction with the Norwich Business School – is for you. You’ll receive thorough training in economic analysis with a focus on business management, financial markets and corporate finance. You’ll explore topics in economics, finance, business, management, accounting and data analysis.
