Economics education explores how people and societies allocate limited resources, determining what goods are created and who can access them. This involves analyzing trade-offs between costs, advantages, risks, and societal impacts. The curriculum covers both microeconomic and macroeconomic theories while allowing specialization in areas like public policy, emerging economies, corporate economics, and global commerce.
Alumni gain expertise in investigative methods, critical evaluation, effective communication, collaborative work, strategic choices, and innovative solutions. Notable employers of recent graduates include Ernst & Young, Morgan Stanley, Shell, Scottish Government, National Australia Group Europe, and Hays plc.
The Adam Smith Business School holds prestigious international recognition from AACSB, along with teaching accreditations from the Association of Business Schools and AMBA.
