Economics has a long and distinguished history at Nottingham, and Nottingham School of Economics ranks among the very best in the country.

Its research training programme is designed to equip students to compete successfully and internationally at a high level, either as academics or professional economists in key organisations such as central banks and government departments.

Supervision is offered across most of Economics, with particular research areas in:

Experimental economics & decision research	Time series econometrics	International economics and globalisation
Development economics	Financial and monetary economics	Policy evaluation

Nottingham’s School of Economics has seven major research centres:

Centre for Decision Research and Experimental Economics	Centre for Finance, Credit and Macroeconomics	Centre for Research in Economic Development and International Trade	Nottingham Centre for Research on Globalisation and Economic Policy
Granger Centre for Time Series Econometrics	Network for Integrated Behavioural Science	Nottingham Interdisciplinary Centre for Economic and Political Research	Economics Research at Nottingham

Many of these Centres are interdisciplinary, with internal and external research associates. PhD students have two supervisors and supervision meetings are held approximately fortnightly. Students are encouraged to attend conferences, for which funding is available.
