BA/BS in Economics

The Bachelor's programme in Economics addresses economic problems such as financial crises, globalisation, health, ecology, unemployment, pensions and poverty reduction. It gives a broad and comprehensive training that enables students to solve complex decision problems independently and develops analytical thinking and abstraction. The discipline analyses decisions made by households and firms, how those decisions are coordinated, and whether the outcome is desirable for the economy as a whole. The programme then examines the economic policy measures that follow, in particular on innovation, growth, unemployment and inflation. Economics graduates tend to be generalists, and their employment situation is above average. Job seekers with an economics degree make up a smaller share of the unemployed than those from other fields.
