Economics and Management

Jack, 2nd year

'I find that Economics and Management is a varied, engrossing, relevant and academically rigorous degree. The scale and scope of the course is amazing. This year, I’m studying Marketing and Strategy as part of my Management options, and think I will keep an even split between Economics and Management as I enjoy being able to study both Mathematics and essay-based elements of the course.

The Saïd Business School, where the Management part of the course is taught, has everything from an expansive library to a subsidised canteen (which is useful for study breaks!). The Economics Department is close to the Social Science Library which has every book an Economics student could need.'

Dean, who completed his degree in 2009, is an Analyst for Greenhill & Co, a leading independent mergers and acquisitions advisory firm. He says:

‘Oxford provided an unparalleled opportunity to enhance my self-confidence, develop thorough analytical skills, and hone my ability to communicate in a clear and articulate manner – prerequisites for a career in investment banking.’
