We are a friendly, medium-sized departmentWe’re one of the few stand alone economics departments in the north of England and we're not part of a large business school. We’re big enough to offer a wide variety of optional specialised modules, but small enough so that you will get to know your tutors personally and build life-long friendships with the other students on your course. We aim to welcome approx 250 undergraduate students each year. There are plenty of opportunities to meet with your tutors if you want advice on how to work through a problem or assignment through regular consultation and feedback (C&F) hours. |
Degrees with a work placementWe offer you the chance to do a year-long work placement, starting after your second year. This is a great opportunity to get paid work experience with some of the UK’s top economics employers who want to recruit the best students from Sheffield. Recent placements have been with the Bank of England, IBM and HM Treasury. |
