Undergraduate Studies in Economics

In economics we study how a society uses its resources. The subject ranges from environmental economics to financial economics and behavioral economics. You can study economics both as a stand-alone course and as part of a program.

Courses in economics are given both autumn and spring semester. 90 credits in economics combined with additional subjects lead to a bachelor's degree. You can also study economics in several bachelor programmes. Then there are opportunities to continue studying at the master's and doctoral levels. The closing date for applications is usually April 15 for the autumn term and October 15 for the spring term.
