The ability to analyse and solve business problems in market economies is highly sought after in many types of careers, both in the UK and around the world.

The BA (Hons) Business Economics degree at Lincoln combines topics in business and economics with the opportunity to develop the skills and problem-solving abilities needed to tackle the multi-faceted problems faced by today's business managers.

The course explores business, industrial, macro-economic, and international economic contexts from an economist's analytic perspective. It enables students to develop key skills in economics, finance, and business.

The programme has been designed to provide a theoretical understanding of the economic decisions faced by businesses, with a focus on application within national and international settings. It is aimed at students who wish to study an economics degree, but who have not followed economics or mathematics at A Level, or its equivalent, and who are looking for a business-focused programme without a considerable mathematics component.

Placements

All full-time students on this course have the option to undertake a year-long work placement after their second year, enabling them to gain hands-on experience in industry. Students are expected to source their own placement, and tutors can provide support during the process if required. Those who choose this route do not pay tuition fees for that year but will be required to cover their travel, accommodation, and general living costs.

There are also opportunities for relevant work experience and career development as part of the degree course itself, as well as through various other Lincoln Business School and University schemes. For more information, please visit LIBS work placement pages.

This course aims to equip students with transferable skills in preparation for a career in business, including roles in business management, communication analysis, and data interpretation. Students may choose to continue their studies at postgraduate level.
