Overview
This highly-specialized and dynamic degree trains you to perform high-level financial and economic analysis at management level in both public and private sectors.
Economics as a discipline is constantly evolving to help us understand how and why we allocated resources. It analyses important issues such as poverty, inflation, unemployment, taxes, pollution, crime, finance, inequality, international competition, consumer behavior, world trade and economic growth.
In addition to your core studies, you will be able to choose four elective subjects to suit your career needs or study abroad with a focus on the European Union.
