Course overview

BSc Economics and Finance with International Year One provides you with a thorough training in economic analysis with an additional focus on understanding corporate finance, financial instruments, and financial markets. On this degree programme, you’ll become an expert in economic and financial modelling techniques and statistical analysis. You’ll develop a skills profile that is highly valued by employers: suitable either to enter employment directly or progress to postgraduate study.

This course is designed for international students with an academic background from outside of the UK. The first year taught at INTO UEA is designed to improve your English language skills, increase your knowledge of academic theories, and develop key study and research skills for undergraduate study, before you transition to the School of Economics (ECO) where you'll combine a rigorous training in economics with a focus on finance. You'll study microeconomics, macroeconomics, economic modelling and statistics, and you'll also study the economics of corporate finance, financial markets and behavioural finance.

You are likely to choose further modules in derivatives, financial risk management and alternative investments. You may then choose to deepen your quantitative skills through modules that cover areas in data analysis and programming, or to broaden your knowledge of economics generally by choosing from the full suite of modules on offer in the School of Economics. Employability is the back
