This year will help develop your knowledge of the theoretical framework for international trade and money, including topics such as globalisation, off‑shoring, monetary policy and the business cycle. In year two, there is a choice of quantitative pathways and those who wish to emphasise the international dimension of their degree can apply to spend a semester of their second year studying abroad, taking similar modules to your counterparts back in Nottingham or expanding your knowledge through other options. With core modules and a dissertation accounting for half of your third year of study, you will cover both theoretical and applied aspects of international economics at an advanced level. You will also have the opportunity to select additional modules from a wide range of specialist options.
