The Strategic Economics program is truly unique in its approach, explicitly designed for students who are eager to master the intricacies of business strategy. It's a program that prepares you for roles where you'll lead the design and execution of firms‘ competition, products, strategic accounts, essential business changes, and mergers & acquisitions. To achieve this, we delve deep into economic theories, blending fundamental principles like game theory, behavioural economics, and supply chain economics with strategic planning. This unique blend allows you to understand how these theories shape real-world business outcomes. Our curriculum strongly emphasises practical skills, equipping you with the ability to use economic metrics and analytical tools. This hands-on approach ensures you can craft and assess business strategies and their real-world impact in a dynamic economy.

Our Strategic Economics program is not just about theoretical knowledge. We concentrate on market dynamics and competitive analysis, preparing you to interpret and anticipate market conditions effectively. The courses encompass crucial topics for making strategic decisions in a competitive business environment. This focus on practical skills ensures that you not only acquire theoretical knowledge but also develop the ability to apply it in real-world scenarios. This pragmatic orientation instils in you the confidence to tackle real-world business challenges.

The Strategic Economics program offers an in-depth examination of the economic implications of policies and regulations. This equips our students with the skills to navigate complex regulatory landscapes. Our comprehensive approach guarantees a broad comprehension of economic principles and their strategic applications, fostering long-term growth and sustainability across diverse business environments.
