Course summary
Our Economics and Finance BSc (Hons) course builds the analytical skills and knowledge you’ll need to carve out a successful career in the finance sector. It’s designed around the research of our teaching experts and backed by excellent industry links.
During the Economics and Finance course, you’ll dig deep into modern economics and how it influences the financial systems and organisations around us. You’ll develop your understanding of microeconomics, macroeconomics, corporate governance and corporate social responsibility.
Your main base is the Newcastle Business School. In your third year, you’ll have the chance to venture further afield with an optional industry placement, applying your knowledge and securing critical experience in the real world.
It’s not just about developing skills, but also boosting employability once you leave us. In recent years, our students have spent their placement working with some of the biggest names in the business – including the Bank of England and Bloomberg LP. Many have then gone on to secure full-time graduate positions with their placement year employer.
How does this course set me up for my future career?
Our BSc (Hons) Economics and Finance course is all about creating the world’s next top investors, financiers and business analysts. It’s also designed to inspire the freshest business and management talent, both in the UK and on the global stage.
That’s why we introduced an optional year-long industry placement after your second year. Our placements team is constantly working to develop exciting opportunities at industry-leading organisations such as Central Bank, Bloomberg LP, Bank of England and departments within in-house companies.
By the end of the course you will be skilled at data and performance analysis, presenting complex findings in an easily understandable manner, making logical recommendations based on your research, understanding programming language and how to apply this in real-world contexts.
The course will also prepare you for further study on one of our postgraduate courses such as:
International Finance and Investment MSc
Accounting and Finance MSc
Finance MSc
Whatever you decide to do, you will have strong employability as a result of having acquired the characteristics of a Northumbria graduate. These include critical reflection and self-learning, collaboration and curiosity, and the ability to apply your knowledge to solve problems in ways that are sustainable and ethical.
