COURSE CURRICULUM

The BSc Management (International Business Economics) program at the University of Manchester offers a structured pathway for students to develop both broad business knowledge and specialised expertise in international economic and financial management. In the first year, students build a strong foundation in key business disciplines, covering microeconomics, marketing, financial decision making, financial reporting, management accounting, management and organisation studies, work psychology, quantitative methods, and professional case studies. These core modules equip students with essential analytical, decision-making, and organisational skills. In the second year, the program emphasises the international dimension of business, with mandatory modules such as International Business and Economic Analysis I, while optional courses like investment analysis, financial statement analysis, consumer behaviour, financial markets, intermediate management accounting, and foundations of finance allow students to tailor their learning to specific interests. The final year focuses on advanced applications and integration of knowledge, with optional modules including international finance, financial derivatives, advanced corporate finance, consultancy projects, business data analytics, share prices and accounting information, contemporary issues in financial reporting, corporate governance, accountability and auditing, and digital transformation in accounting. By combining theoretical understanding with practical skills, the program prepares graduates for careers in international business, finance, consultancy, and economic strategy, and provides a strong foundation for further postgraduate study or professional qualifications.
