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 set of courses offered fall into core courses and electives. The core courses are intended to provide well-balanced training in economic theory, contemporary economic problems and quantitative methodology so as to build the essential tools for economic analysis of problems arising in a variety of contexts.
In Semesters 2-4, students will do a dissertation and also have an option to specialize in either Applied Economics or Financial Economics. They do this from a choice of electives from the respective streams.
The elective courses from the Applied Economics streams deal with the application of economic theory and econometrics to address practical issues in a range of fields like demography, labour, industry, agriculture, development, education and health economics.
The elective courses from the Financial Economics streams deal with the allocation and deployment of economic resources, both spatially and across time, in an uncertain environment.
In both streams, at the postgraduate level, the electives enable the students to acquire more advanced training in the branches of their choice. This will progressively develop students’ ability to understand advanced theories and sharpen their analytical skills by building foundations in both theoretical concepts of economics and the applications and analysis side.
