Undergraduate education
A bachelor's degree in economics prepares you well for both advanced positions in private and public sectors, as well as for further studies in economics.
The education covers the two main areas of economics: microtheory (focus on individuals and firms) and macrotheory (focus on the entire economy), as well as studies of various specialized areas, such as labor market economics, public economics, and financial economics.
The undergraduate education in economics consists of the introductory course Economics A and the advanced courses Economics B and C. These courses can be taken either as part of a bachelor's program or as standalone courses.
- Economics A
