Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Economics with Business] From Nottingham Trent University

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 on all of us.

This course provides a solid grounding in the threshold concepts underpinning economic analysis, using its distinctive perspectives to critically analyze business decision-making. 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 emphasizing their application to public and private organizations, as well as to question policy.

As an Economics student, you’ll have access to our unique Trading Room facility. With 12 double-screen workstations, the room gives you a simulated experience of working in the fast-moving world of shares and trading.
