Economics, University of Nottingham

Challenging and demanding

So far my course has been very enjoyable and has a wide range of topics and modules

so hard

A great degree to do. Very time consuming and demands a lot of personal work, in terms of research, reading and keeping up to date with current issues. But an econ grad can apply in nearly every sector, and there is the spring week to help with job prospects.

I loved the course. My personal tutor is such a great man, very willing to help and there are always additional classes available if you needed help.

Yeah i suppose its decent

Love the course, however for the amount you pay you don't really see the contact hours. Staff are great but too many people have been let into university thus they can't cater for everyone.

The employment stats for Economics/Law are down to the students, not the university. If you want to work in the City as a banker, investor, lawyer etc, expect to put in the work yourself. These ‘top’ courses are now saturated by half-hearted nobodies, personality defunct individuals and uninterested internationals. Not to mention that such courses are taught in a boring, lengthy manner. Go to a better RG or an easier course, at least then you’ll have time to enjoy the nightlife in Notts instead of working on lacklustre work.

Varied modules with engaging lecturers that kept the course interesting

Really enjoyed the course, being taught under some of the global leaders of research in their respective fields

Very good course with good lecturers, interesting content and module choice, good help available but slightly unorganised, hard to meet with a personal tutor. Job prospects are good and the Econ society is good.

Great job prospects and careers help

As a fresher you get little value for money and have little contact with your personal tutor; mainly because the first year is too easy for most. However as you advance towards your final year they both improve massively, with your personal tutor playing a key role in your final year. Teaching is strong and the course material offers a good variety allowing students to take their own path in developing their own thoughts around the subjects, though admittedly for a duel honours there could be better links between the 2 schools. Considering the average economics graduate from Uni of Nottingham earns £30,000 (well over the avg National starting salary), this is testament to how good the careers services are.

Teachers come from all around the world and you can really experience a multicultural environment

personal tutor not very interested in my development and quality of teaching varies a lot depending on lecturers

Overall very satisfied

Good uni, a lot of people to social around. Good facilities to use
