Economics

Globalisation is rapidly changing the scope and nature of international business and trade, and business success is highly

specialised knowledge of the extensive implications and opportunities arising from the process of international economic and
fnancial integration. The program is founded upon a platform of microeconomics, macroeconomics and statistics, and shows
how economic principles may be applied to issues in the international economy. Electives enable you to focus on your specifc
needs and interests.
