Description:

Combine the study of two core elements of business on our Economics and Management joint honours programme. You gain the skills and knowledge essential for managing key areas of organisations alongside an understanding of economic processes and practices.

Our academics in Kent’s School of Economics are internationally recognised for their research and are exciting and innovative teachers who place a particular emphasis on making economics relevant to the real world.

As a Kent Economics and Management student, you develop the skills to analyse and discuss crucial areas in the disciplines and are challenged to contribute and defend your own theories and solutions.

Our degree programme

In your first year, you are introduced to economic theory and practice as well as to management studies and the business sector more broadly. You then move on to learn about different methods of analysis including statistics used in both subject areas.

During all stages of your studies, you have the opportunity to choose specialist modules that suit your interests and include topics like financial crises, human resource management, mathematical economics and political economy.  

In your final year of study, there is an option to take a dissertation module on a subject of your choice, which allows you to focus in detail on an area you are particularly passionate about.

Year in industry

You have the option to take this programme with a year in industry. For more details, see Economics and Management with a Year in Industry.

Study resources

You have access to a wide range of topical journals and books in hard copy and digital format through Kent’s Templeman Library.

Your designated academic adviser provides guidance for your studies and academic development. At the School of Economics, we also run a peer mentoring scheme where experienced final-year students offer advice and support to new students.

Kent’s Student Learning Advisory Service offers useful workshops on topics like essay writing and academic referencing.

Extra activities

There are a number of student-led societies which you may want to join such as:

  • Economics Society
  • Kent Investment Society
  • Entrepreneurship and Start-Up Society.

The School of Economics also hosts events that you are welcome to attend. These include:

  • public lectures and seminars
  • employability workshops
  • networking events.

You can discover how to turn your idea into a successful business at the ASPIRE centre which is run by Kent Business School and provides practical advice and support to entrepreneurs.
