Courses in the Economics major are taught by NHH’s internationally recognised faculty in economics and related areas.
The Economics major from NHH Norwegian School of Economics studies what motivates and drives decisions for individuals, companies, competitors and authorities, and what determines prices, returns and economic allocations.
