My time in the School of Economics, UNMC has fostered my love for economics as a discipline while shaping how I look at the practical applications of economics everyday. Before I joined this programme I wasn't sure what I wanted, or could do, with this kind of degree - I just liked the sound of it. With each passing semester I realised how well-rounded this course was. I had the chance to test the waters in different areas of economics, as well as focus on the subjects that interested me most, giving me a solid foundation for whichever path I chose next. When I started interviewing for graduate programmes (in both economics and finance) I found that I was able to impress my interviewers with the scope of my knowledge and my technical skill set.
The lecturers in this school have often been a huge source of support and inspiration. They have tried very hard to instill in us something that goes beyond the classroom. For me my time here has really been about learning how to learn, and how to apply what I learn. I am confident that as I pursue my PhD in Economics, the lessons I take with me from NSE will play a huge part in my success.

BSc (Hons) Economics, Class of 2015
Master Student at the London School of Economics
Nottingham School of Economics (NSE) has definitely been a defining part of my life in developing my interest in economic policy making. Thinking about the school, I would say that the student-lecturer relationship is what makes NSE a great place to study. Throughout my time in NSE, I’ve always told people that our lecturers practice an open door policy . More than just being a lecturer, I would say that they are also a highly qualified mentor to us students.
Student feedback has also been something I appreciate. NSE provides many platforms for student feedback in terms of teaching methods, module choices and syllabus structure. Not only are these platforms available, our feedback are given due consideration and changes are made as to where appropriate.
Do your tertiary-education-research well and you will come to realise that NSE is the best option for an economics degree in Malaysia.
Tan Kar Man
BSc (Hons) Economics, Class of 2015
Master Student at the 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ College London (Full-Scholarship from Hong Leong Foundation)
I first came to UNMC because I really like that the economics programme had a lot of optional modules and flexibility which I expected would be a nice challenge and increase my knowledge exponentially. I managed to achieve that through projects and self-study which allowed me to work independently, thus enhancing my analytical abilities.
What I did not expect was the whole experience itself was invaluable in developing me as a person. The professors conducted their classes in such a way that students are actively encouraged to participate in discussion and this exposes us to various perspectives and builds self-confidence. We learnt to question everything and then back it up with solid data. We could always go to our professors for advice, even in non-academic areas, such as careers or further study. This advice guided me throughout the years and made my university life more productive, enjoyable and inspired me to have even bigger dreams.

Master Student at the 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@ of Warwick
The Nottingham School of Economics is extremely close to my heart. This is the place which honed my dreams of being an economist into a reality. The academic staff are innovative, encouraging and most of all an excellent support system who enable you to succeed beyond the boundaries you once set yourself.
This school is set apart with its unique class size that provides you the rare gift of personalised attention. This was the key to building excellent relationships among the brilliant minds of lecturers and peers, contributing to my overall development.
Apart from its academic rigour, NSE provided me the opportunity to conduct research with both my personal tutor and dissertation supervisor throughout my period of study, who were extremely supportive of my dreams, and assisted me in being equipped in skills worthy of my progress to a postgraduate education at Warwick 188体育网址_188体育在线-【唯一授权网站】@.
As a previous representative of the school and president of it's own student society, I must say that at NSE you will have the opportunity as I did to make friends for life, play football with your lecturers, present research at a seminar or attend corporate events among esteemed guests, and overall obtain an excellent education in economics, prepping you to take on your ambition in the real world.

Consultant, IBM
BSc (Hons) Economics, Class of 2014Full Scholarship Recipient from the Sin Chew Daily Education Fund
My experience being one of the second batch students of the Nottingham School of Economics Malaysia is one of the essential elements that brings me to where I am today. The intellectually challenging environment had well-trained me to be very independent and act beyond my boundaries.
The fact that we were exposed to numerous fields of economics also encouraged us to look at things from different perspectives, which strengthened my analytical skill, which is very important in a consulting career. The flexible choices of modules also allowed us to pursue a subfield that we were interested in, making it easier for us to unleash our potential.

Rachel Cho
Associate Economist, Bank Negara Malaysia
BSc (Hons) Economics, Class of 2013Looking back, my experience at Nottingham Malaysia has been intellectually challenging but rewarding. The course, which centres around rigorous grounding of economic theories and the applications of it has opened up my eyes to see how economic agents behave in a world governed by scarcity and choices, both at the micro and macro level.
The lecturer-student engagement extends beyond the classroom, where I was privileged to serve as a research assistant and a co-author to one of them in the field of development economics. The research-oriented approach to teaching and learning and the emphasis on independent development enhanced my ability to think analytically and critically, skills which would propel anyone further in both academic and practical fields, and certainly very useful for my career at the Bank Negara Malaysia.
