Giving our students the edge

In the Macroeconomic Analysis module on year two of BSc Business and Economics, students produce an economic impact report on a local issue.

In 2019 the brief was set by the Strategic Economic Growth Manager at Salford City Council.

Working in small groups, students investigated issues of low productivity in Salford and the impact of technology on productivity in MediaCityUK.

The report they produced formed part of Salford City Council’s productivity project. It also counted towards 75% of our students' second year assessment - and gave them excellent experience for their future careers.
