Economics is the foundation of modern business. We nurture bold, forward-thinking economists who can bring strategy, efficiency and change to any organisation, whether it’s an international business, a government department or a charity.
As a business economist, you’ll make decisions that count. A new product launch, a venture into overseas markets, the introduction of innovative technology – all benefit from the skills, vision and analytical thinking of the economist.
At Derby you’ll apply latest economic theory to solve real problems for real businesses. You’ll harness up-to-the-minute data and analytical tools, including Bloomberg. You’ll be challenged by work placements, consultancy projects, business panel debates and trading competitions. With our friendly learning community and staff dedicated to your success, we offer the ideal start for your career.
