Bachelor in Economics

Economics at Yonsei University covers the theories and tools used to analyze how individuals, businesses, and governments make decisions about scarce resources. Students typically study microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics, alongside coursework in mathematics and statistics that supports quantitative economic analysis. Programs in this field often examine topics such as market behavior, monetary and fiscal policy, international trade, and economic development, giving students the analytical tools to interpret economic data and evaluate policy proposals. Coursework increasingly incorporates data analysis and statistical software, reflecting the growing role of empirical methods in economic research and professional practice. Graduates pursue careers as economists, financial analysts, policy advisors, and researchers, working in banks, government agencies, consulting firms, and international organizations. Some continue into graduate study in economics, finance, or public policy, while others move into corporate roles in finance, strategy, or data analysis that draw on economic reasoning. This bachelor's degree is offered by Yonsei University, located in the Seodaemun-gu district of Seoul, South Korea. The program runs for eight semesters, or four years, with intake in March or September. Instruction is delivered in English, allowing international students to study economics without needing to first learn Korean. Combining theoretical grounding with quantitative training, the program is designed to prepare graduates for analytical roles across finance, government, and research.
