SBK Women's University, Balochistan

Welcome Every Woman from every home
 
Department of Economics

The department of Economics, the first department within Faculty of Management Sciences, was established at the university soon after its inception in March 2004. Department is currently running M.Sc, and BS programs with a view of achieving academic excellence by way of opening up new vistas in the field of Economics. Economics Department also initiated M.Phil program in 2013 which was later halted by HEC in 2018 due to unavailability of two Ph.D faculty members in the department.

At SBKWU economists are trained in Economic Theory and applied economic analysis. We strongly realize the importance of extending the knowledge of Economics at an academic level. In addition to the core courses the programmes offer a wide range of Elective subjects. It offers students an opportunity to study particular areas of economics in greater depth, from both a theoretical and an empirical perspective. It not only prepares the theoretical foundations of the students but also requires them to undertake a research project/paper in the final year. The degrees in Economics are professional degrees that prepare students for careers in the private sector as economic analysts in businesses, consultancy firms, financial institutions, and applied research firms. They may also find jobs in international organizations (World Bank, IMF, International Labor Organization etc.), government (all ministries) and non-profit organizations (non government organizations, universities and other teaching jobs).
