Economic science is essential for the harmonious function of modern societies. The programme aims to provide students with the necessary theoretical knowledge and practical skills required for the modern business economist. Students are expected to grasp concepts such as the ways different markets operate, rational choices in the short and long run, effective management of scarce resources, business and social efficiency.
Economics remains a discipline with potential for significant advancements, thus the programme aspires to offer students applied experiences from the business world in order for them to appreciate the differing applications of theory in practice.
