The study of economics provides students with a solid foundation of economic knowledge which is seriously demanded by professional requirements in Accounting, Commerce, and Law, and therefore has a very high practical value in careers. It also enables students to understand and interpret economic activities that happen around them in fair depth within the local and international economic framework.

With repeated training in cost-benefit analysis, students are capable of making rational decisions with different constraints and choices by the end of the course.
