Business: Finance, Economics, Management and Entrepreneurship
The future is dynamic, complex and hyper-connected and Business permeates all aspects of life. The Business School subject activity strand covers a wide range of real-world issues that impact upon our everyday lives. We will guide you in exploring how people make decisions; the practical applicability of our subjects to jobs; and how business practices can be sustainable. You will be taught in a mixture of lectures, seminars and practical group work sessions by academics from our three main Business School departments: Finance & Accounting, Management, and Economics, and also by experts working in related departments. You will spend time on both the Exeter and Cornwall campuses.
