BSc EconomicsAdd to shortlist
Programme profile
A great demand exists for economists who can understand, analyse and forecast changes to the global economic landscape and their implications for the performance of organisations. On par with the best economics programmes in the world, the programme provides a solid grounding in microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics, as well as specific knowledge in core fields including financial economics, international economics, public sector economics and development economics. Two courses in business economics and two in philosophy are also part of the degree, as well as a variety of electives during the last semester of the programme.
A focus on group work prepares you for the reality of a working environment. In diverse teams, you work on assignments and prepare presentations, always applying what you have learnt to the task at hand, just as you will, during your career. Class sizes are kept small, so you will never be just another face at the back of the lecture hall. You are encouraged to spend on semester abroad on one of more than 90 partner universities in nearly 40 countries in the Americas, Asia, Oceania or Europe.
