A Bachelor of Economics (BEc or BEcon)[1][2] is an academic degree, awarded to students who have completed specialised undergraduate studies in economics. Variants include the "Bachelor of Economic Science",[3] and "tagged" degrees such as BA (Econ), BS (Econ) / BSc (Econ), BCom (Econ), and BSocSc (Econ).[4]
These degrees aim to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of economic theories, principles, and models, and their application in analyzing real-world economic issues. Graduates often pursue careers in[2][1] economic analysis, policy development, finance, and business consulting, or continue their studies in graduate programs.
The program encompasses a broad range of topics in the field of economics, including microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, economic history, and international economics. It is, at the same time, substantially more theoretical and mathematically rigorous than the economics major within generalist undergraduate degrees (e.g. BBA, BA or BCom).[2][1]
