Ba joint hons choices - marketing

Deciding what joint honours I want to do is difficult ...
I want a marketing degree and I am also pretty set on attending Strathclyde.

From filtering through the optionable 16, I have decided I would choose one of the following;
- Economics (& Marketing)
- Finance "
- Business Enterprise "

Is someone who is on one of these courses help me out? Looking for any information to help me make the right choice.

thanks
I mean you can go into marketing with any degree. Pick something you find intellectually stimulating and conceptually interesting, that you would genuinely like to spend the time learning about.

Hey Anon! You actually don't need to decide right now if this helps - as in Year 1 all of the students study all of the Business classes 🙂 No matter what you apply for you'll do all of the above classes (and some others) to give you a good flavour for what they're like at University level.

I'd say pick whichever stream you're writing your Personal Statement for, and know that you've got lots of flexibitliy to change between specialisms once you finish your first year. You can use your first year to think about which areas you've enjoyed more and chat to tutors and lecturers about what they're like at Honours level. Don't apply to multiple degrees within the BA Business programme as you'd be wasting a space on your UCAS application.

Hope that helps!
