Economics

A Bachelor’s in Economics explores how societies use resources, produce goods, and distribute wealth. It involves analyzing economic systems, understanding human behavior, and evaluating public policies using both qualitative and quantitative tools.
Studying economics abroad equips students with global perspectives on markets, trade, development, and finance. It blends theory with real-world applications, preparing graduates for careers in banking, consulting, government, international development, and data analytics—or for further study in economics, business, or law.

Overview

A Bachelor’s degree in Economics typically lasts 3 years in most countries (like the UK, Australia, or Europe) and 4 years in the US and Canada. The curriculum is designed to balance economic theory, mathematics, and data analysis, with a strong emphasis on real-world economic issues.
Programs often offer specializations in areas like international economics, development economics, environmental economics, or financial markets. Some universities also allow joint degrees combining economics with business, mathematics, politics, or statistics.
