Course summary

Economics is not just about money. It’s about the choices we make and the effects of those choices on people, businesses, and governments. Our BSc Economics course covers the fundamentals of economics – macroeconomics, microeconomics, statistics, and data analysis. As you progress, you get more choice such as financial, political, behavioural or development economics. From year one, we’ll support your career development. You’ll have automatic membership to the student-led Nottingham Economics and Finance Society (NEFS). They offer networking opportunities, CV advice, and additional training through their divisions. We’re first in the Russell Group for the percentage of graduates in sustained employment or further study five years after graduation (LEO data 2021/22 tax year, published 2024). Our graduates are sought after by top employers, including EY, PwC, Deloitte, Civil Service and KPMG (Graduate Outcomes data, 2017/18-2021/22). Our course will give you the analytical and problem-solving skills needed to evaluate complex issues and prepare you for careers in finance, consulting, public policy, or further study. Explore economics further by listening to our student hosted Econverse Podcast. Why choose this course?
