    Postgraduate Diploma in Economics

    The Postgraduate Diploma in Economics prepares graduates and working professionals to analyse, interpret, and address complex economic challenges in local and global contexts. The programme develops advanced knowledge in microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, mathematical economics, development economics, and industrial policy, equipping learners with the analytical and research capabilities required in today’s data-driven economy.

    Designed to strengthen intellectual independence and critical thinking, the qualification enables learners to analyse economic trends independently, evaluate policies, and design practical solutions to socio-economic issues.
