The BSc Economics programme is offered at ISBF under academic direction from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), easily among the leading schools in the world for the social sciences in general, and economics in particular. To contextualise that claim, one source (of many) that bears reference is the 2013 QS University Rankings where LSE has been ranked 3rd in the world for Economics & Econometrics (behind Harvard University and MIT). Closer home, a casual conversation about economics degrees is enough to reveal that the LSE name is practically synonymous with excellence and expertise in the field of economics. The courses offered through the programme are not only analytically rigorous and theoretically extensive, but they are also regularly updated to remain highly relevant to today’s world. So you will no longer merely learn demand-supply analysis; rather more importantly, you will learn to apply this analysis to understand real-world events ranging from election scenarios, discovery of rare minerals such as oil, price wars between companies, global hyperinflation and recession episodes and many other things.These intellectually stimulating and riveting exercises (students sometimes refer to these as ‘Wow!’ moments in class) will help hone your analytical skills and strengthen your ability to articulate complex arguments effectively, thereby inducting and training you in the fine and difficult art of policy-making

Economics graduates are highly sought after prospects for lucrative careers in investment portfolios, banking, financial services or corporates in general. Moreover, once you are a student of Economics from an esteemed University, plethora of avenues for further studies in India and abroad become available to you.
