You will develop knowledge and skills across key business disciplines, focusing on the study of organisations, management and the changing environment in which they operate. The Foundation Year will give you a well-rounded start, with exciting topics in problem-solving, data-handling for business, marketing and communication, and culture - all building the strong foundations you’ll need to thrive as a professional Economist. You’ll also have the opportunity to undertake a work placement within an established workplace or with an enterprise start-up.
