TiU, BSc, Economics

Economics is all about what happens in our daily lives: how people, companies and governments make certain decisions (microeconomics), and how these decisions influence the economy as a whole (macroeconomics). In our Bachelor's program in Economics, you will learn how to use and apply economic models to study and analyze economic phenomena, and how to use this knowledge to your advantage. Student Layla Izfaren: "Economics is very international, small scale, and very highly rated, and that was exactly what I was looking for. What I like most about the program is that it really takes you out of your comfort zone." The Economics program provides a solid foundation in micro- and macroeconomics. In macroeconomics, you will study the relationship between factors such as national income, consumption, unemployment, inflation, interest rates, investment, international trade, and international finance. In microeconomics, the focus is on the actions of individual agents, such as firms and consumers, and how their behavior determines prices and quantities in specific markets. Other subjects covered in the program are international trade, public finance, and development economics.
