Bachelor of Science in Economics (Honours)

Economics explores issues of central importance to the human condition at the local, national and global levels. These issues include unemployment, inflation, poverty and inequality, pollution and environmental degradation, sustainable economic development, depletion of fish stocks and other resources, international economic interactions, budget deficits and national debts.

You will join an intimate learning environment where you explore some of the most challenging topics within your field. Small class sizes in upper-year courses facilitate maximum interaction with your professors and peers and promote a student-centered environment.

You can also participate, through groups like the Economics Society, in the intellectual life of the department by being involved in the choice of speakers and other activities.
