Course summary
Explore the dynamic world of international economics and discover its powerful impact on our global community. Gain an understanding of how trade policies shape economic transactions between nations. What could an overseas financial crisis mean for us? As an economist, understanding the reasons behind economic decisions is key. You'll study the key concepts of economics such as macroeconomics, microeconomics, mathematics and international trade. You'll gain the core analytical and quantitative techniques required by economics graduates. Tailor your studies to your career interests. Choose optional modules that allow you to specialise in areas such as international trade, FDI, migration and international macroeconomics. Graduate with the skills essential for success in the modern economy. Our graduates are highly sought after in a variety of sectors. These include international banking, accountancy, mergers and acquisitions, and much more. Be a part of shaping our global future. Our successful alumni work at top organisations such as the Bank of America, Barclays, Bloomberg and Deloitte.
Modules
During your first year, you'll build your foundational knowledge in economics and the economics of integration. This year will help develop your knowledge of the theoretical framework for international trade and money, including topics such as globalisation, off‑shoring, monetary policy and the business cycle. In year two, there is a choice of quantitative pathways and those who wish to emphasise the international dimension of their degree can apply to spend a semester of their second year studying abroad, taking similar modules to your counterparts back in Nottingham or expanding your knowledge through other options. With core modules and a dissertation accounting for half of your third year of study, you will cover both theoretical and applied aspects of international economics at an advanced level. You will also have the opportunity to select additional modules from a wide range of specialist options.
