What is Economics?
Contrary to popular belief, the study of economics is essentially people-oriented and not just centred on money. Students studying economics will delve into a wide scope of issues that influences financial situations and decisions, from production and consumption to how the world’s resources are utilised among individuals and corporations. As such, students will be exposed to studying in various areas such as geography, history, law, politics, psychology and sociology, at both local and international perspective. Economics is such a highly diverse subject; an undergraduate economic degree is available both as a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BSc).

The field of economics often comprise of two key areas – Microeconomics and Macroeconomics. ‘Microeconomics’ is the study of behaviour and interactions of individual agents such as buyers and sellers while ‘Macroeconomics’ examines economies on an international scale, on issues such as economic growth, inflation, recession, unemployment, monetary and fiscal policy. Similarly, students will also be exposed to econometrics (applying mathematics, statistical methods and computer science to economic data), development economics, organisational behaviour, labour economics, science economics, urban economics, and information economics.
Traditionally, Economics graduates pursue a career as an Economist, Economic Analyst or Economic Research Assistant.
