Nottingham Trent University's MSc Economics degree has been designed to give students an in-depth understanding of economic concepts, principles and techniques by focusing on the application of economics to contemporary real-world issues.
Students will be encouraged to ‘think like an economist’ through the application of economic ideas and methods drawn from a range of alternative perspectives. By studying economics here, the emphasis is on the application of versatile tools, techniques and methods of thought which are distinctively associated with professional economists.
Students will have the opportunity to work hands-on with economic tools and techniques, including the use of Nottingham Trent University's state-of the-art Trading Room. Students will learn how to access economic phenomena, using theory and evidence to draw insights into the underlying causes and importantly their impact on people, businesses and the wider society.
Finally, in the third semester, students will choose an experiential project. With the opportunity to use their skills in a real-world setting, students can choose from completing a consultancy experience project, an internship experience project, a business research project or a global experience project.
What the student will gain from this degree:
Nottingham Business School is a UK leader in financial and business education – an Economics degree from Nottingham Trent University gives students the foundations and opportunities to pursue a wide range of exciting careers.
Students opting for the two year route can add a year’s work placement onto their course. It’s a great way to put learning into practice and gain valuable real-world experience to help boost career prospects once graduating.
The placement year will last up to 48 weeks (minimum 36 weeks). If students are unable to take a full year's placement, but have completed the minimum 36 weeks, they can qualify for a Placement Diploma in Industrial Experience. If students undertake a placement, they must take up the Business Research Project in Semester Three.
