Overview

Key Features

The Economics programme from Singapore Management University includes an entry pathway for students without prior training in economics. You will follow a strong core programme, as well as a track system that allows you to opt for a more practice-oriented, more data-analytic and theoretical focus, along with an open category that allows you to take courses outside your track, or from other programmes. This allows you to create a fulfilling programme suited to your needs.

We seek students with a keen sense of purpose and curiosity about economics. You may consider the Applied Economics track if you are a working professional who makes or will be making critical and strategic decisions in your company or public sector agency and who could benefit tremendously from a good understanding of the market and the economy.

The Econometrics and Quantitative Economics track is an option if you wish to learn more about data analysis with a special focus on economic, financial and social data. You may wish to pursue careers involving technical economics research, or further graduate study in Economics.
