    One of the basic definitions of Economics is as follows: how to satisfy the unbounded needs of humanity with bounded resources at hand in an optimal way. In the BSc Economics programme you will find answers to this fundamental question and many other problems in modern society. BSc Economics is the most universal and fundamental programme at IBSS, offering students multiple open perspectives for further postgraduate studies.
