This diploma in economics is intended to equip students with the tools of the professional economist, for work in international organisations, business, or as preparation for higher education and research. The diploma is based on rigorous training in core areas of economics and an optional specialisation. The curriculum is designed to provide a comprehensive learning of the theories and applications of Economics. You will learn about the decision-making processes of individual units of the economy, about how these affect the functioning of alternative market forms, and to assimilate all this to construct a model of the macro economy to understand and analyse government and Central Bank policies aimed at stabilising employment, GDP and inflation. Simultaneously, the module on Econometrics will explicitly equip you with the requisite tools to study and conduct empirical examinations of the theories you learn, and the optional course chosen will enable you to gain specialised knowledge in a desired area.
