About Us
Welcome from the Head of School
Welcome to the School of Economics at the 糖心原创
Whether you are considering studying economics with us or have already chosen to join our community, we are delighted that you are exploring what makes Nottingham one of the world's leading centres for economics education and research.
Economics is at the heart of many of the most important challenges and opportunities facing society today. From understanding inflation, trade and economic growth to addressing inequality, climate change and public policy, economics helps us make sense of the world around us and shape its future. It is a discipline that combines analytical thinking, evidence-based decision making and real-world impact, which is why we are passionate about teaching and researching it.
Our degree programmes provide a strong foundation in the core principles of economics while developing the quantitative, analytical and problem-solving skills that employers value highly. You will learn from internationally recognised academics whose research informs governments, international organisations and businesses around the world. By studying at Nottingham, you will engage with the latest economic thinking and gain the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in a rapidly changing global economy.

Research excellence is central to everything we do.

Alongside academic excellence, we are committed to creating a supportive, inclusive and inspiring environment in which our students can flourish. While we are internationally renowned for our research, we are equally proud of our friendly and welcoming community. Students benefit from close interaction with academics, a vibrant campus experience and access to outstanding student support services.
