About the programme
UCAS Code: BA Combined Honours (Y001)
Business modules as part of a Combined Honours degree are offered by Newcastle University Business School
Modules are split into three subject areas. These are:
- Accounting and Finance
- Economics
- Marketing
- Leadership, Work and Organisation
- Entrepreneurship and Innovation
Accounting and Financial Management (ACC)
These modules will provide the necessary background to understanding corporate accounts. This will assist in such management functions as decision-making and resource allocation.
We also have an Accounting and Finance Society that runs social and networking events.
Economics (ECO/ACE)
Economics is the study of the factors that influence income, wealth and well-being. Having gained an understanding of the basics, students can go onto studying economics in both a business and global context.
There's lots of social activity with this subject, including an active Economics Society and Entrepreneurship Society, with events and trips abroad.
Marketing (MKT/ACE)
After an introductory module, this stream studies marketing from a variety of perspectives and within various business sectors, as well as considering marketing within the overall business environment.
You can get involved with others studying this subject with the Business Society
Leadership, Work and Organisation Management (BUS)
Management is concerned with how businesses operate, considering not only the use of resources but other topics such as human resource management and decision-making. This stream also provides an opportunity to learn about small business start-up and innovation.
