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’re 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 with a year abroad, in your third year you'll spend a year abroad at one of our many partner universities across the world.

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.
