Bachelor of Economics (Hons) Global Economics
Bachelor of Economics (Hons) Global Economics KP/JPS(KA9682)04/14
Programme Info
The study of ‘Global Economics’ aims to explain how economies in Malaysia and the other parts of the world work and how economic agents interact. Economic analysis is applied throughout society, in business and finance. Graduates of this degree programme will obtain new perspectives on some of the more pressing, demanding and challenging problems facing the world’s economies today. Global economics revolve around wealth creation, the highs and lows in financial money markets and the consequential effects on business performances. Economic decisions made and the various activities impact many different areas of each country, society and lives of each and every individual – through macro- and microeconomic changes such as fluctuations in interest rates, inflation rates, corporate and personal taxation, unemployment, changes in tastes and preferences and so on.
The programme therefore seeks to imbue in students sound foundation knowledge and skills in global economics, through the studies of various global economic scenarios. Students will also develop logical and analytical thinking skills, complemented by specialised practical skills (such as numerical, computing, communication and team working skills), through the broad intellectual training that characterises this degree programme, which in turn allows for constructive use of the knowledge concerned.
Career Prospects
Graduates of this degree programme are much sought after by employers, both in the private and public sector, given their appreciation of global economics and the interaction of financial markets, and the impacts on nations and various businesses and society. They may be employed in a wide range of settings that take advantage of their understanding of decision-making, research and analytical skills, and their experience and capabilities of viewing problems in the national and international context.
They can be placed in fields such as investment, merchant and general banking, corporate finance, insurance and fund management, financial planning, consulting, public and government finance, security research and analysis, and advisory.
