Economics with Business BSc (Hons)

About

Introduction:

Economics is built on some simple, yet important, idea known as threshold concepts. These apply to decisions taken every day by individuals, firms and governments. Some of these decisions can have very important effects for all of us.

This course provides a solid grounding in the threshold concepts underpinning economic analysis, using its distinctive perspectives to critically analyse business decision-masking. You will learn about the industry and regulatory contexts surrounding decisions in an international setting as well as develop crucial employment skills.

This flexible course provides a solid grounding in the main elements of economic analysis, while emphasising their application to public and private organisations, as well as to question policy.

Nottingham Business School enrols its economics students with The Society of Professional Economists (SPE). SPE is the leading organisation serving professional economists in the UK and has more than 600 members, drawn from all areas of the profession including finance and commerce, industry, government departments, private sector consultants, business schools and universities.

This course can be studied over three years full-time or four years with a placement, and offers all students the opportunity to gain some industry experience or travel overseas to study abroad in one of our partner universities with our unique opportunities scheme.

Our students get great jobs — we’ve been ranked 1st in the UK for employability (Uni Compare 2025).
Complete a paid placement — our students have secured experience with organisations like BMW Group and ThermoFisher Scientific.
Study in the heart of Nottingham — one of Europe’s top 25 student cities, and home to over 75,000 learners.
