Learn advanced data analysis techniques to explore pressing economic problems and graduate with top-of-the-line skills to work in finance, industry and the public sector with this Economics and Data Science degree that combines training in Economics with modern skills in Data Science.
The B.A. (Hons.) Economics with Data Science Program is designed to produce graduates trained in the application of knowledge in economics to real-life economic, financial, ethical and analytical problems encountered in the economy. The course will enable the students to effectively apply their knowledge and skills to situations of economic, institutional and policy making both in governance and industry. This unique course offers the opportunity of studying the traditional curriculum in economics alongside advanced data analytics and data science methods.
The course has a rigorous focus on quantitative techniques and research methods which will orient the students in dealing with economic problems with a practical and analytical approach. The comprehensive and wide scope of the course ensures that students receive sufficient experience of the current issues and crisis of the world especially that of the emerging economies. Data Analytics has a wide range of applications in practice – from social science, to natural sciences; from the evaluation of economic policies, to prediction and classification of economic phenomena. In this program, you will learn how to use data analytic methods to combine data (from survey, census, social networks, text, sounds, images, memories, or experiences) and study human behaviour and social environments. specifically, we will help you translate economic theories into empirical questions that can be answered with data, and that can inform debates about the economy, society, and the impact of economic policies.
This undergraduate program in Economics aims at developing among students a sound theoretical understanding of the subject along with practical applications. The idea is to encourage broad based understanding with greater depth in areas of particular interest to students.
