Welcome From the Head of School


Part of the UK Nottingham School of Economics, a top ranked economics department, we provide students with a rigorous training in economics and econometrics. Studying the same programmes and modules as in the Nottingham campus (with opportunities for international exchanges), our students receive a high quality degree in the best traditions of British higher education but in the dynamic setting of modern China.

Our courses combine the core analytical and quantitative techniques required by modern economics with in depth study of topical issues, informed by the research of academics who are pushing forward the boundaries of the subject. Our students study economics at an advanced level, with a variety of specialist modules taught in an interactive manner that encourages creativity, originality and critical thinking. The School has particular strengths in fields such as econometrics, where Nottingham alumni, Sir Clive Granger, won a Nobel prize and international economics, an area that the former Vice Chancellor of The University of Nottingham, Sir David Greenaway, now teaches students in our School in Ningbo.

Our students achieve great success after graduation: most of our undergraduates enter top 100 world universities for further study on Masters in economics, finance, business and related disciplines. They are highly sought after in the job market, because our programmes require a balance of intellectual abilities: numerical, analytical and verbal. We develop a variety of skills that are important for employability: data analysis, problem solving, report writing, oral presentations and teamwork. Whatever your ambitions, our aim to is help you achieve them here at UNNC.

什么是经济学？

在诺丁汉，经济学家分析诸如经济发展、国际贸易和公共政策等问题，包括健康、劳动力市场、食物、环境、宏观经济、欧盟等。另外，学校在经济理论和计量经济学领域也有突出的科研专长。
 

我将如何学习？

大多数的课程通过讲座形式开展，同时伴有小班研讨和导师辅导的模式。课后，为完成作业你要花大量时间阅读和研究。
 

评估方式

不同的模块有着不同的评估方式。有些是通过正规的考试、有些是通过课堂作业，但大多数情况下则是两种评估方式相结合。课堂作业的性质也各不相同，包括：

• 个人论文

• 团队和个人项目

• 案例研究

• 评估陈述

在最后一年，通过独立完成一篇个人的研究论文，学生将有机会展示自己对于经济学概念的理解。
