The Bachelor in Economics
The Bachelor in Economics is a stimulating program which sets out to apply the fundamental principles that underpin economics into the context of our currently evolving digital and tech era.
This program takes learning one step further than simply teaching traditional economics; our professors apply their knowledge of the current landscape of economics to the classrooms so that students are able to learn the key implications of technology within this sector. Largely left out of similar programs, the Bachelor in Economics includes the implications of automation, e-platforms, and circular and sharing economy. You will also build upon your knowledge of the internet of things, artificial intelligence, machine learning, analytics, and big data—namely focusing on how these affect decision making and policies within a local and global environment.
Furthermore, at IE University, we understand the importance of understanding the economy from a global perspective as means to understanding the impact it may have on international relations, governments, and organizations. As such, our professors ensure you are able to drive economic transformation, growth, and efficiency on a global scale.
During the first three years of the program, you will develop a foundation in economics, solidifying your knowledge of all its key aspects. Meanwhile in your fourth academic year, you will be able to specialize in two distinct areas of study: either Country, Sector, and Policy Analysis, to learn how governments and different sectors play an important role in the economy; or Economic and Financial Analysis for Business, in which you will learn how the economy affects financial markets and business performance across different industries and sectors.
Being able to tailor your studies to you own interests is a unique opportunity which will help you to ignite your passions and launch yourself into the professional field of your choice.
