BSc Business and Politics
Course overview
The BSc (Hons) Business and Politics programme at Aston University, Birmingham, is a four-year course that combines studies in management and business concepts with an examination of political systems and policies in various regions, including Europe, Africa, and North America. In the first year, students start with the basics by learning business and political theories and developing skills in data analysis, problem-solving, and communication.
