The Department of Economics is committed to providing university education for life-long mental development through undergraduate, postgraduate, adult/continuing and executive/professional learning.Today it is one of the largest departments in the University on the basis of its established reputation for innovation, academic standards and student-focus of its programmes of study, including for academic and practitioner-oriented doctoral programmes.The teaching of the Department is organised around three strategic groups: Business Economics, Financial Economics and Health & Evaluation Economics.
