Economics is a discipline that studies economic issues considered the most important in our lives.
At a micro level, it looks at the rational consumption and expenditure of households, which constitute basic economic entities, and the efficient production of companies. Meanwhile, at the macro level, it studies what determines national income, financial policy and inflation control, unemployment issues, policy measures depending on economic fluctuations, and international cooperation over issues such as goods, services, and capital transactions.
In recent years, economics has cast a wider net, and economic theories are widely used not only in various public policies, but also in urban affairs, real estate, information, and communications.
As such, the School of Economics provides a basic framework for economic analysis and economic policy using foundational social science theories, and it offers a wide range of subjects to help students understand and utilize recent changes what is known as a digital economy.
The school seeks to carry on the university's legacy in practical academics, and produce experts who can analyze and forecast economic and social phenomena from a practical perspective by applying both the practical and theoretical principles of economics.
Furthermore, it aims to train individuals who can work internationally and on the global stage.
To this end, the school has upgraded its programs on traditional economic theory, mathematical analysis methodologies, and computer-based practice. The number of courses delivered in English is growing, along with internships at companies and research institutes to help students pursue their dreams of becoming genuine economists with plenty of practical experience.
Graduates of the School of Economics typically join private corporations, public enterprises, and financial institutions. But recently, the number of students continuing their studies in graduate school in the fields of economics and management has been on a steady rise.
