Bachelor in Economics and Finance

Economics and Finance combines the study of markets, resource allocation, and monetary systems with the practical analysis of investment and corporate finance. Coursework typically covers microeconomics, macroeconomics, financial accounting, statistics, corporate finance, and monetary theory, giving students tools to interpret economic data and evaluate financial decisions across public and private sectors. Students learn to build economic models, analyze market behavior, and assess risk in investment and lending decisions using quantitative methods introduced throughout the program. Coursework in financial markets covers the pricing of stocks, bonds, and other instruments, while macroeconomics coursework addresses inflation, unemployment, and monetary and fiscal policy at the national level. Case studies drawn from banking, corporate finance, and international markets give students practice applying theory to observed economic events. Statistical and econometric training equips students to test hypotheses and interpret data with rigor. Graduates commonly pursue careers in banking, financial analysis, corporate finance departments, insurance, and government economic agencies, and many continue toward further graduate study in economics, finance, or business administration.
