Economics

It’s Your Time. Push The Boundaries.

As an economics student, you will study how markets work to determine what is produced, how it is produced and how income is distributed. You will explore subjects like the role and impact of international trade, the effect of monopolies on the economy and the problems of unemployment and inflation.

The knowledge will help you develop a strong understanding of businesses, markets and financial organizations and prepare you for careers in the private, public and academic sectors. Find out more about the Feliciano Difference.
