Major in Economics
In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, economics provides future graduates with a unique way of interpreting, modelling and acting on world events. Economics is about finding the optimal way to address most pressing global challenges, while providing clarity to all.
Introduction to the major in Economics
Our curriculum is based on the ground breaking CORE Econ programme designed by the most respected and forward looking economists. This truly modern training is at the same time rigorous, creative and at the cutting edge of research. This curriculum will empower you to analyse burning topics such as sustainability, technological change and AI or global inequality with the eyes of the latest theories.
You will work with data, both individually and in teams, tackling real-world problems from the very start as theory and practice are always intertwined. Beyond theories and quantitative techniques, we see economics as a set of fundamental skills—effective communication, collaboration, data visualisation, critical thinking—that apply to many career paths. These skills are developed through problem-solving, case studies, simulations, video presentations, teamwork, and live class experiments.
This is how you’ll become part of the next generation of economic leaders and change-makers.
