My current job is to report on the global markets, comment on important events and carry out research on contracts. The masters degree helped me to secure this job because Chinese companies think highly of my degree.

Economics at UEA: Creating Careers

We offer an ideal combination of academic rigour and practical real world relevance that enables you to sharpen your powers of reason whilst also preparing you for a career beyond University. These characteristics – academic excellence and practical application – are the guiding principles of all of our programmes.

We integrate this with an employability strategy that encourages students to recognise the importance of focusing on career development at an early stage of their university experience. Working alongside our professional Careers Centre, we provide a series of events tailored specifically for Economics students.
