Studying a BA Economics & Finance degree at the University of Strathclyde Business School, you'll be learning at a pioneering internationally-renowned academic organisation. We were awarded Times Higher Education UK Business School of the Year in 2016.

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 – consumers, producers and the government – and how they all fit together.

The Finance aspect of this degree will give you the skills for a career in financial services, such as banking, investment management, pension fund management, and insurance, as well as a wide range of business organisations. It will also be invaluable in helping you make personal financial decisions.

Our Finance degrees are unique in Scotland because of the range and depth of financial issues covered.

Study with us

• study in a department which is home to the Fraser of Allander Institute – a leading research institute which offers internship and work placement opportunities for our students
• Use key economics concepts and models to better understand real-world problems

• Gain the ability to explain complex data in simple terms to a diverse audience
• Benefit from being taught by staff who have strong links with policy-makers and industry.

For many, the perfect way to combine a passion for sport and technology is through a career in sports engineering.

Sports design engineering concentrates on the conception, design and manufacturing of sporting equipment. Sports engineers work in nearly every sport, creating designs that meet specialised specifications to improve athlete performance, safety and sports product durability. 

For example, sports engineers could be involved with projects as diverse as designing new high specification football boots or fitness monitoring and improvement products, match and playing surface analysis equipment to developing image processing algorithms which act as analytical tools to determine strategic instances in a game.

The background our students gain in biomechanics also makes careers in medical device development and design a viable career route which is an exciting area due to the new and emerging sports and widening participation in sports for example prosthetics and guidance for partially sighted.

A sports design engineer requires expertise in many technical skills; from engineering design to understanding biomechanics of human movement, technology concepts to production techniques. This is integrated with manufacturing processes, CAD, rapid prototyping and digital prototyping technologies, software and practical skills to turn the design and production process into reality which is fundamental to global market success.

Study with us

• Gain expertise in the tools and techniques of sports product development
• Learn to combine virtual and physical design and prototyping in our digital design suite
• Undertake work placements in industry
• Opportunity to undertake an industrial group project in Year 4 and 5 with a sports organisation

Accreditation

• Our Sports Design Engineering degree has been awarded academic accreditation from two institutes. This demonstrates the degree meets the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC) as outlined by the Accreditation of Higher Education Programmes (AHEP).
• This accreditation is achieved through a panel of trained and expert accreditors looking closely at our programme’s content and delivery, including its relevance, coherence, challenge, assessment, staffing, quality assurance, and resources.
• The Accreditors also monitor that the programme is continually improving and in line with the latest best practice, providing assurance to our students that they are getting a relevant and quality degree.
