BS (Economics)
How did the pandemic rattle developed and under-developed economies? Was policy response to Covid-driven economic crisis right? If yes, then what caused the inequalities to rise record high? How can economic policies help tackle the gender pay gap and deal with the challenges of the climate crisis while maintaining a competitive edge?
As a student of BS Economics, you shall learn how to provide solutions to a wide range of real-world issues like those mentioned above. It is a modern 8-semester course designed to instill a scientific and open-minded approach in students to tackle real-world issues using qualitative methods, field analysis, and an approach where hypotheses are tested against data.
Likewise, you will learn how to apply economics’ analytical method to real-life and a broad range of problems to answer policy questions and resolve social issues of high priority.
