Here's what University of Nottingham says about its Industrial Economics with a Placement Year course.
How can companies remain competitive in a crowded marketplace?
How do they decide how much to invest in research and development? How do regulatory systems impact profit margins, innovation and growth?
Our BSc Industrial Economics will uncover the answers to these questions and more, giving you an understanding of the complex relationships between economics and global business practices. You will examine a company, take an in-depth look at its structure, markets, competitors and external economic environment.

By undertaking a Placement Year you will receive additional workshops in your first and second years, alongside professional advice from our dedicated Placements Team.
