Dear students,
Welcome to the Department of Economics and Management at the Faculty of Business and Administration (FBA).
Our goal is to develop economists and business professionals ready to face the challenges of a dynamic environment. With academic staff from diverse educational and industry backgrounds, we can pursue theoretical and practical teaching simultaneously. As a small department, we provide an environment where students can benefit from direct and personal contact with our staff, enabling them to receive guidance, acquire knowledge, develop skills, and pursue their ideas.

Bachelor Studies
Economics is the science that studies how society organizes the use of limited resources, namely time, money, and factors of production such as labor, natural resources, and capital. In the modern world, resources are not organized by a central planner but through the combined resources and cooperation of a large number of households and firms.
Economists study how people make decisions regarding purchases, savings, and investment. Our program, through its multidisciplinary approach, tends to equip students to think like economists, use the relevant techniques for analyzing economics problems, and present theoretical and practical arguments.
