Economics is a social science that focuses on the whole process, starting from the stage of deciding on the production of goods and services, including the solution of the final problems that arise after the consumption of these goods and services. In order to educate individuals who can contribute to the evaluation and solution of all economic and social phenomena that may arise in this process, our department continues its education and training activities with an 8-semester curriculum prepared in a way to benefit from other related social sciences, primarily economics.
