The Economics course is a comprehensive, cross-curricular programme for a versatile professional career. An approach that draws on critical thinking built on historical learning and past patterns that combines an analytical component.

With strong connections to the social sciences, Economics is a human science that helps to understand individual economic behaviours in society.

The scientific knowledge acquired in the course allows a world view based on economic thinking, economic history, and geo-economics with a solid mathematical underpinning.

It is a course that provides graduates with a general and in-depth knowledge of the world, with the ability to understand organisations integrated into their context. For example, the students can occupy business positions in varied functional areas, public or private organisations, business finance or financial markets, or continue their studies to master's degrees.
