Bachelor in Economics and Finance

Economics and Finance combines the study of how markets, resources, and financial systems function with practical training in analyzing investment decisions, financial statements, and economic policy. Students typically study microeconomics and macroeconomics, statistics, corporate finance, and financial markets, building the analytical tools needed to interpret economic data and evaluate financial decisions made by firms, investors, and governments. Coursework often includes econometrics, monetary economics, financial accounting, and portfolio theory, giving students a mix of theoretical grounding and applied quantitative skills. Case studies and modeling exercises are common, asking students to analyze real economic indicators, assess company performance, or evaluate the effects of policy changes on markets and business activity. Many programs also address international economics and the interaction between national economies and global financial markets. Graduates pursue careers in banking, financial analysis, corporate finance, economic research, and consulting, working for financial institutions, corporations, government agencies, and research organizations that rely on economic and financial expertise.
