Applied Economics Concentration

Applied Economics Concentration offers knowledge for economic reasoning and data analytics─a powerful combination that meets the employers' demand nowadays. The programme offers a variety of economics courses that allow students to apply economic theories in analysing individual markets, macroeconomics, international economies, games and strategies, public policies, and digital markets. It also prepares students for developing careers in the field of data analytics by providing them with skills associated with quantitative and statistical analysis, big data analytics, programming, data gathering and machine learning. Students can customize their learning experiences to fit their preferences and career aspirations. 

Graduates can develop a wide range of career options in business and government sectors. On top of the likely employment for BBA graduates in management, marketing, accounting and banking, many advanced career opportunities in financial and commercial sectors, such as research analysts, business consultants, asset management, credit analyst, risk management, treasury, and compliance, require specifically a degree in economics or other relevant disciplines in finance, law and science. These jobs usually require both technical and broad-based knowledge that the Applied Economics degree offers. Our training also paves way to graduate studies, which are commonly required for further career advancement.
