Established in 2010, the School of Economics in Malaysia is an integral part of University of Nottingham’s School of Economics, a top ranked economics department. We provide students with all the benefits of a world-class British education but in the dynamic setting of Malaysia. As the world looks East, our students are in the unique position to witness first-hand the extraordinary economic development taking place in Malaysia and regionally within ASEAN.

Our Economics degrees are among the few Bachelor of Science in Economics degrees offered in Malaysia. They combine the core analytical and quantitative techniques required by modern economics with in depth study of topical issues, informed by research active staff who are pushing forward the boundaries of the subject. Our academics are highly qualified with PhDs from renowned universities in United States, Europe and Australia, and have extensive international teaching and working experiences.

Economics graduates have an enviable flexibility to choose from a wide range of careers, including jobs in investment banks and management consultancies, and high-impact jobs with opportunities to shape policies in think tank and government agencies. The solid mathematical, quantitative and analytical skills that students acquire through an economics degree are very much sought after, making it one of the highest paid degrees in the market (according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies and the Hamilton Project).

Economics graduates from University of Nottingham Malaysia have been recruited by investment banks, commercial banks, multinational companies, government organisations, as well as policy institutes. In addition, a significant fraction of our graduates are pursuing their master and doctoral studies around the world, as our honours degree is recognised for entry into postgraduate programmes at internationally renowned universities.
