"summary": "Study the world’s markets, business environments and industries with our BSc Business Economics with a Placement Year degree.\n\nThis programme will develop specialist knowledge in business economics.\n\nIn the first two years, you will take many of the same core modules as our BSc Economics programme to ensure that you develop the skills and knowledge required to become an economist. You will then acquire specialist knowledge of business economics throughout your second and final years. Going beyond ‘core’ economics, gaining a wider perspective on business and economic issues, you will gain a rich body of knowledge and a range of skills. \n\nEnhance your employability by doing a year-long work placement, in an industrial setting, between your second and final year. A placement is a valuable way to develop your skills, experience the workplace, and build your network.\n\n**For more information, please visit the course page: https://www.reading.ac.uk/ready-to-study/study/subject-area/economics-ug/bsc-business-economics-with-placement-year**",
