Economics

This minor provides a solid basis in core courses in economics. You will learn to analyse decisions taken by firms, consumers, investors and the government. You will get essential insights to understand the working of the economy as a whole, on a national and international scale.

You will gain important skills in terms of data analysis, and economic reasoning (verbal, graphical and mathematical) and communication, that will help you to solve problems in economics and beyond, as well as to formulate well-informed policy responses.

You will also understand what is included in the economics toolkit and what is not, and how economic insights relate to insights from other disciplines.
