Economics (Hons) Northumbria University

Overview

Throughout the Economics (Hons) BSc programme from Northumbria University you’ll dig deep into modern economics and how it influences the financial systems and organisations around us. And you’ll develop your understanding of microeconomics, macroeconomics, corporate governance and corporate social responsibility.

Your main base is the Newcastle Business School. But 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.

Career opportunities:

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.
