About us

The Department of Economics hosts a diverse staff with considerable experience in academia and applied economics work.

Our Department forms part of the Faculty of Economics, Management & Accountancy (FEMA) at UM. Besides servicing a number of departments across the University, we offer a rich undergraduate teaching curriculum comparable with those of leading universities, which is regularly updated to reflect developments in the field. Core subjects like microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics, applied topics such as public sector economics, monetary economics and international economics, are complimented by a range of other topics that reflect the expertise and research of interest of staff, such as health economics, environmental economics, small island and development economics, cost-benefit analysis and behavioural economics. The Department offers courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
