Master of Science [M.Sc] [Quantitative Finance] From University of Strathclyde

This BA Economics and Human Resource Management at The University of StrathclydeÊwill give you the ability to explain complex data in simple terms to different audiences. YouÕll also develop excellent mathematical, statistical and problem-solving skills.

Following the recent global economic crisis, economics is more important and relevant than ever. Decisions on money, banking, interest rates, taxation and government spending affect us all, with global consequences.

Economics aims to understand the activities of the different agents in the economy Ð consumers, producers and the government Ð and how they all fit together.

We also offer some of the best teaching in Human Resource Management (HRM) in both Scotland and the UK.

Modern business is too complex to be covered by a single subject: modern managers need to have a broad outlook.You choose basic classes in business and other disciplines, alongside the Business SchoolÕs Management Development Programme. YouÕll study a wide variety of subjects and create a curriculum to suit your interests and needs.

You also have the opportunity to try new subjects, some of which you wonÕt have experienced at school or college. At the beginning of Year 2, you choose two subjects to continue studying in Years 2 and 3. YouÕll also select a third, ÔminorÕ subject and take further Management Development skills classes.
