Course summary

What this course is about

UCAS code: NL21

Here's what Nottingham Trent University says about its Business Management and Economics course.

As economists, we feel we’ve got an answer for everything — from the macroeconomics of inflation, interest rates and unemployment, to the microeconomics of how these things impact real people, households, and companies. Economics is built around time-tested theories and models, but also a lot of assumptions; we’re here to show you the strengths of those assumptions, their limits, and how economics oils every gear of the modern business machine.

On this course you’ll get a bigger business picture, plus the specialist economic skills to predict change, turn complex data into relatable stories, and inspire better decisions. Alongside a host of hands-on internship, placement, and consulting opportunities — all with real companies, both at home and abroad — you’ll come to appreciate how the different areas of a business can work together in harmony.

Learn to think like an economist, without being pigeonholed as one. Together, we’ll lay the foundations for a versatile, exciting future, giving you the tools and knowledge to navigate the whole business landscape — from economics, accounting and finance, to HR, marketing, and corporate strategy.
