There is considerable freedom and versatility within the faculty to cater to a range of interests. Students will delve into the theories that help us make sense of our decisions from an economic perspective by choosing Economics, and can complement their understanding with Accounting, to gain insight into the financial dimension of a business. Through the Politics and Law that are at the heart of society students can also gain insight into the legal systems that underpin our daily lives.
