Course summary

Overview

BSc Economics and Finance, combined with a placement year, provides you with a thorough training in economic analysis with an additional focus on understanding corporate finance, financial instruments, and financial markets. On this degree programme you’ll become an expert in economic and financial modelling techniques and statistical analysis. In your third year, you'll spend 9 to 12 months on a full-time placement, gaining invaluable working experience and employability skills in a relevant area of your choice. You’ll develop a skills profile that is highly valued by employers: suitable either to enter employment directly or progress to postgraduate study.

About This Course

On this course, you'll combine a rigorous training in economics with a focus on finance. You'll study microeconomics, macroeconomics, economic modelling and statistics, and you'll also study the economics of corporate finance and of financial markets. You are likely to choose further modules in derivatives, financial risk management and alternative investments. You may then choose to deepen your quantitative skills through modules such as programming and data analysis, or to broaden your knowledge of economics generally by choosing from the full suite of modules on offer in the School of Economics. Combining BSc Economics and Finance with a placement year, you'll typically spend between 9 and 12 months of your third year in a full-time placement. Although you'll be expected to secure your own work placement, dedicated staff within the School and the Careers Service will support and assist you throughout the process of searching, applying for, and ultimately gaining a position. Furthermore, support will also be provided whilst you are on placement and when you return to complete your studies in your fourth (final) year. Based in the School of Economics, you’ll be taught by a lively, friendly, research-oriented team, committed to teaching excellence and focused on facilitating your growth and success. Our School is globally respected, especially for its pioneering and world-leading work in behavioural economics. Our active research areas also include macroeconomics, competition economics, environmental policy, conflict theory, finance, and labour market studies in education, family and welfare. You’ll be joining a vibrant and diverse community. Our student-led Economics Society is the perfect place to network and socialise with fellow students with shared interests. The Norwich Economic Papers, run by a Student Editorial Board, and the ECO Blog are outlets within which you can publish your work. Our within-school internships enable you to participate directly in frontier research. And our Staff Student Liaison Committee gives you a say in the future direction and every day running of the school.
