Overview of Business Economics (MBS)

MBS(BUSINESS ECONOMICS) - CKL06

Designed in consultation with leaders from the business community and public sector organisations, the MBS in Business Economics is an innovative one-year full time programme (2 years part-time) that equips participants with the key professional skills to work in the ever-changing business world. Theoretically grounded, evidence-based and application orientated, the focus of this unique programme is on understanding firm performance and competitiveness in the global business environment.

What will I be Studying?

By following the focussed taught courses and conducting your own research you learn how to explain and apply core theories, empirical methods and a range of analytical tools that are relevant and transferable to a range of fundamental business issues.

A key strength of the courses on the programme is the use of workshops, group discussions and case study analysis. Other features of the programme include team-working, and producing analyses, reports and presentations to a high professional standard. Approx 50% of the marks for the programme are accounted for by continuous assessment.
