Course Details

Economics is the study of how, where and why money and resources are produced, spent and allocated by government and businesses, and how these help and affect the lives of individuals.

Do you have a flair for problem-solving, reasoning, and analysis? Are you fascinated by how money makes the world go around? A career in Economics might be for you.

When you hear discussions around unemployment, monetary policy, budget deficit and inflation, chances are an economist is involved. Since all businesses, organisations, and citizens are affected by local and global economies, every commerce graduate must complete at least one year of study in Economics.
