As an economist, you will study the market conditions. You will forecast and draw up both long-term and short-term budgets. You will evaluate investments, monitor the country’s and the world’s economy, and be able to explain its nuances in detail.
If we could explain economics in one sentence, it would sound something like this: “Economics is a never-ending study on how our world works”. Indeed, we always look for answers about how society, governments, or various businesses make decisions based on how to distribute limited resources and get the most out of it.
As an economy specialist, you are taking over a crucial role by making sure you are behind all of those decisions, forecasting economic matters, and proposing new, innovative solutions.
While studying, you will be able to choose from one of the 18 blocks of competencies – to specialise and gain the competitive knowledge needed in this particular block of the labour market.

Looking at my employees’ – the graduates of Economics study programme in KTU – work, I can tell that they have the newest economics knowledge and are able to use them at various levels of management of company’s activity. They have perfect understanding of company’s financial documents, are able to analyse and evaluate them, as well as to stipulate and propose priority fields of improvement of activity. The majority of the graduates of KTU Economics study programme whom I met so far, whom I had the opportunity to speak to and work with are certainly good and competent specialists.
The manager’s work is to decide which strategy is the best and this requires understanding of company’s processes and evaluation of possible changes of economic environment. The Economics studies gave me a lot – without having the knowledge of economics I could not do my job, because economic modelling is the tool which I use each and every day when making the most important decisions of my company.
