Engineering, Economics and Management at Balliol

Engineering and Economics have been taught at Balliol for many years, and the College pioneered the introduction of Management Studies at Oxford. These days Balliol is the largest Oxford college in terms of the number of students studying the component areas of the EEM course: Engineering, Economics, and Management. The teaching benefits from an unusually large number of Tutorial Fellows in the relevant areas: there are three Fellows in Engineering, two in Economics and one in Management Studies (see below).
