Department of Economics
About the Department
Welcome to the Department of Economics. The Department evolved from two economics degrees offered under the Faculty of Commerce in 2004 (Bachelor of Commerce Economics and Bachelor of Commerce Economics and Finance degrees). It later became a cluster of Marketing and Economics Department in 2005. In 2010, it became a fully-fledged Department of Economics when the two departments of Economics and Marketing were created. The Department also offers Postgraduate programmes and it aims to excel in economics research and teaching.
The Master of Commerce degrees are offered through coursework and research, while the Doctor of Philosophy degree is done through research only, whose primary objective is training students as research economists.
