Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Economics and Finance with Professional Placement (NC37)

The BSc (Hons) Economics & Finance degree allows students to combine discipline-specific skills with a thorough understanding of the economic and financial challenges that confront contemporary society. Students will learn how to analyse and discuss important aspects of the subject, such as microeconomics, macroeconomics, financial markets and institutions, digital, ethical, and sustainable finance, as well as how to apply theoretical and empirical analysis to major economic and financial policy issues.

Throughout the course, economic and financial issues are strongly linked and students will be exposed to a combination of qualitative and quantitative skill building tools. This degree will give students a variety of cognitive and employability skills, graduate qualities, and insights into the workplace, as well as opportunities to build collaboration, leadership, organisational, presentation, and analytical abilities.

Not only will students develop the critical thinking and analytical skills needed to thrive in their career, they can choose to spend a year in a professional work placement. Taking a paid placement year will give them the opportunity to put their skills and knowledge into practice, as well as giving them the essential experience that will set them up for graduate employment.
