Business vs Economics at University: What’s the Difference and Which Degree is Right for You? With Dr Lucill Curtis & Dr Liliana Harding from University of East Anglia
June 24 @ 16:30 - 17:20
We know that many students are very excited by the prospect of studying Business or Economics at university but aren’t always certain about how the degrees differ.
In this engaging online event with University of East Anglia, we will take a theme common to both Economics and Business degrees, Globalisation, to illustrate how you might expect to explore this crucial topic during your undergraduate studies. By considering key differences and similarities in the content, learning experience and career opportunities, you will be able to directly compare the knowledge and skills you will develop at university whilst studying Business or Economics.
We will conclude the session with an informal discussion, guided by questions from the audience, about applying for and studying Economics and Business at degree level.
Join us to make sure you choose the path right for you.
Speaker Profiles: Dr Liliana Harding is Associate Professor in Economics in the School of Economics and and Study Abroad Co-ordinator and Dr Lucill Curtis is Associate Professor in Marketing in the Norwich Business School and Director of Admissions, Recruitment and Marketing.
