Course Description

Overview

Study economics, whilst taking a range of modules in accountancy, business and management. Our BSc Economics with Accountancy degree, offered in conjunction with Norwich Business School, is an excellent choice if you're seeking a thorough grounding in economic analysis, with an additional focus on accounting, business management, financial markets and corporate finance. You’ll gain a useful head-start whether your future lies in entrepreneurship, consultancy or management.

By combining BSc Economics with Accountancy with a placement year, in your third year you'll spend nine to 12 months on a full-time placement, gaining invaluable working experience and employability skills in a relevant area of your choice.

About This Course

On this course, you'll combine rigorous training in economics with the opportunity to learn about accountancy, finance and management. You'll study microeconomics, macroeconomics, economic modelling and data analysis, and you'll also choose from modules such as financial accounting, management accounting, corporate taxation, auditing, and business and company law. You may then choose to deepen your knowledge of economics by choosing from the full suite of modules on offer in the School of Economics.

You’ll be based in the School of Economics, and you’ll receive training also in the Norwich Business School. Through the combined expertise of the School of Economics and the Norwich Business School, you’ll learn everything you need to know for a broad range of careers in finance, consultancy and management.

Combining your course with a placement year, you'll typically spend between 9 and 12 months of your third year in a full-time placement. Although you'll be expected to secure your own work placement, dedicated staff within the School and the Careers Service will support and assist you throughout the process of searching, applying for, and ultimately gaining a position. Furthermore, support will also be provided whilst you are on placement and when you return to complete your studies in your fourth (final) year.

You’ll receive the very best support and guidance through a dedicated module called STEPS (Skills, Training, Employability, Progression, and Support) running throughout your course, as well as through your academic adviser. A university-wide Learning Enhancement team is also on hand to help you with mathematics, writing, critical-thinking, revision, and time management skills.

Employability is the backbone of our curriculum’s structure. Our teaching and assessment provide you with a curriculum that develops and enhances your employability relevant skills and attributes. The course’s syllabus is rich in real world examples and with opportunities for you to experience how the subject and its methods are applied. Guest lectures from graduate employers also contribute to the content of some of our modules. To develop and enhance your employability even further, our employability team organises a wide variety of events, such as: weekly employability workshops, networking and alumni events, one-on-one meetings with top professionals, job coaching and training, nationwide competitions, internships and consulting opportunities, mentoring by former alumni, among many others.

The student-led Economics Society is the perfect place for you to network and socialise with fellow students, whilst our Staff-Student Liaison Committee gives you a say in the future direction and everyday running of the School. The Norwich Economic Publications (a combination of a journal and a Podcast run by students) and the ECO Blog are outlets where you can share your enthusiasm about what you study.
