University of East Anglia (UEA), BSc, Economics with Accountancy

Year 1

You will study a number of compulsory modules in economics and business, allowing you to begin to develop crucial skills and knowledge. These introductory modules will cover economics, mathematics, statistics, business, and financial and management accounting.

Year 2

In your second year you will continue to develop your understanding of the macro and micro economy through the modules ‘Intermediate Macroeconomics’ and ‘Intermediate Microeconomics’.  In ‘Introductory Econometrics’ you will build your statistical skills, with the option to apply them in the form of a practical project designed to answer a research question in the module ‘Econometrics Research Project’. This module is also designed to enhance the employability of our graduates.

You will also select optional modules from a diverse range offered by the Norwich Business School, including ‘Financial Accounting’, ‘Management Accounting’ and ‘Company Law’.

Year 3

• During your third year you will be given the option to further your study of macroeconomics, microeconomics and econometrics. The remainder of your third year allows you to choose from a wide range of modules related to finance and business, covering financial markets, derivatives, risk management and alternative investing. Other options related to business and accounting are offered by the Norwich Business School. There are also optional modules in economics covering areas such as labour, the environment, economic thought, public policy and the economics of sport. You will also have the option to take a dissertation during your final year.
• You will spend your third year at one of our partner universities. You will need to pass your year abroad, but it will not count towards your final degree classification. This gives you the advantage of spending a year studying economics and related subjects as offered by your host institution. This is a great way to further enhance your knowledge of economics, explore economic issues of other countries and develop personal skills which are welcomed by employers.
