Degree programme in economics has two tracks: major in Economics and major in Finance.

The major in Economics focuses on explaining the behavior of different economic agents, such as households, companies and general government. The aim is to describe, explain and model the modern market economy. Common questions in economics are, among others: how the degree of competition affects the behavior of firms, how international risks affect domestic firms, and the efficient ways of organizing economic activity in different competitive environments. Economics also gives tools to assess e.g., the effect of different policy actions on the economy.

Majoring in Finance prepares students for challenging careers in the financial arena. Building on the basic concepts of finance, the programme closely examines theory and empirical testing methods. The programme culminates with courses that demand and develop quantitative skills. Topics covered include asset pricing, financial econometrics, portfolio management and performance evaluation, corporate finance, and individual courses on various asset classes.

The degree programme in Economics provides students with the knowledge and skills required to work in demanding specialist and executive positions in corporations, governmental agencies or third sector organizations. The programme also provides students with a solid foundation for further scientific research.
