Economics

Economics provides a comprehensive insight into the functioning of economies and the environment in which companies operate. Studying Economics improves analytical skills, which are highly useful and demanded in the rapidly changing work life. Economics may be useful in finding answers to questions like: Why are some countries rich and others poor? What is the source of economic growth? What is the significance of innovations? How are interest rates, stock prices and exchange rates determined? Why do we have unemployment? Should the debts of the poorest countries be cancelled? What is a good compensation and incentive scheme?

For an economics student graduating from the School of Economics, there is a wide range of employment opportunities in both the public and private sectors. A degree in Economics with a minor in business studies is a comparative advantage for our students over students graduating from other Economics Departments in Finland.
