Start date

The world economy today is constantly evolving by taking a new shape, becoming complex in design. Understanding the dynamics of the modern world economy has been one of the key objectives of the economics department at Nile University.

The course covers the fundamentals of how economies operate around the world and enables you to make sense of the numbers behind the markets.
You’ll have the opportunity to develop your analytical skills through the study of econometrics and deepen your understanding of the global economy.

Studying Economics at Nile has given me more than the ability to shift graphs around. It has allowed me to answer almost any question I can ask and, more importantly, given me guidelines to know what questions are relevant.
