SP Jain's Bachelor of Economics (BEC) is a 3-year full-time undergraduate program that gives students an in-depth understanding of economics in a global context. The program is quantitative in nature and made up primarily of subjects that will help you study international business environments and critically analyse issues from an economist’s perspective. Students get the opportunity to study in two of the world’s leading cities – Mumbai (Year 1) and Sydney (Years 2 and 3) – and gain a global outlook.

On completion of the program, students will learn to appreciate various aspects of the theory and practice of economics, including development economics. The program’s strong real-world emphasis, combined with the theory and application of economics, makes it highly beneficial, whether you want to pursue a career as an economist, consider a general career in business or opt for graduate studies.

Note: This program is not offered in Singapore and is not approved or attested by CPE

Your safety is our highest priority. Amid the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19, if face-to-face classes on campus are not feasible, the classes will be held online.
