    About

    Economics affects every area of our lives. From our day-to-day decisions to global policies whose effects reverberate around the world, this degree will prepare you for a wide range of careers.

    At Greenwich, we believe economics must help to build and more equitably share prosperity, create meaningful employment, and ensure the transition to a carbon-neutral future. We have responded to calls from students and industry alike to change the way we do economics: we are a national leader in applied real-world economics that learns from history and embraces diversity. After first year, we offer students the possibility to pursue study pathways based on ESG (environmental, social and governance issues) or public policy.

    In a complex dynamic business environment, whether you want to work for an established business or start your own, as a business economics graduate you will be able to apply theory and data handling skills to analyse real-world economic and business problems.

    In your time with us you will gain the knowledge and skills essential for entrepreneurial initiative, graduate employment or post-graduate study. Our graduates have pursued successful careers in industry, finance, the civil service, NGOs, research and education.

Depending on the nature and duration of the internship it may be something that can be done alongside study or it may be something that can only be done over the summer. If your internship is eligible, you can receive a Certificate of Industrial Studies.
