The Master of Arts degree programme in Economics aims at providing students with sound theoretical and applied knowledge of modern economic problems and the ability to understand and grapple with economic issues through a scientific and methodological approach. The programme caters to graduates from Economics and related disciplines who aspire to obtain postgraduate training in Economics. Upon completion of the programme, students are expected to cater to work requirements either at their current work organizations or elsewhere. In the context of a rapidly globalizing world, such opportunities are not limited to the national boundaries of a single country either.
