Bachelor in Economics

Economics studies how individuals, firms, and governments allocate scarce resources, covering both microeconomic decision-making and macroeconomic trends such as growth, inflation, and employment. Coursework typically includes microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics and statistics, economic history, and applied topics such as international trade or public policy, alongside mathematical methods used to model and analyze economic behavior. Students learn to build and interpret economic models, analyze data using statistical and econometric tools, and evaluate policy questions using economic reasoning. Graduates typically pursue careers in banking and finance, economic consulting, government and policy roles, market research, and further graduate study in economics or related quantitative fields.
