Postgraduate Programme
For Men
Duration: 2 Years
The programme offers advanced training in economics to equip students with the required skills for a career as an economist with the potential to serve in positions of responsibility in government, the corporate sector, universities and research institutions.
The available courses are categorized into core courses and electives. Core courses aim to deliver comprehensive training in economic theory, modern economic issues, and quantitative methodologies, equipping students with the fundamental tools necessary for analyzing economic problems across diverse contexts. Students must complete a dissertation during the programme.
In Semesters 2-4, students will have the option to specialize in Applied or Financial Economics. They choose electives from the respective streams to do this.
Elective courses within the Applied Economics streams focus on applying economic theory and econometrics to solve real-world problems across various fields, including demography, labour, industry, agriculture, development, education, and health economics.
The elective courses within the Financial Economics streams focus on the allocation and use of economic resources over time and in different locations, particularly under uncertain conditions.
At the postgraduate level in both streams, electives allow students to gain advanced training in their chosen fields. This approach gradually enhances their understanding of complex theories. It hones their analytical abilities by establishing a solid foundation in both the theoretical concepts of economics and practical applications and analyses.
