Course Description

The M.A. Economics Work-Linked Degree program is designed to combine academic learning with real-world industry exposure.

This program allows students to apply economic concepts such as data analysis, market research, and policy understanding in real professional environments. Along with academic credits, students also receive a monthly stipend during the internship period, helping them gain financial support while building job-ready skills.

The work-linked model is ideal for students who want early career exposure, professional networking opportunities, and stronger employability after graduation.
