Bachelor in Economics

Economics studies how individuals, businesses, and governments allocate scarce resources, examining production, consumption, trade, and the broader functioning of markets and economies. Typical coursework includes microeconomics, macroeconomics, statistics and econometrics, economic history, and specialized topics such as international economics, public finance, and monetary economics, often supported by quantitative analysis and applied economic research. Graduates of the discipline pursue careers in banking and finance, government and policy analysis, consulting, and corporate strategy, and the degree also provides a foundation for graduate study in economics, finance, or public policy.
