The B.Sc. Economics at Podar World College is offered through the University of London, with academic direction from LSE — the world's leading university for economics research. This degree is for students who want to understand how the world works: how individuals, firms, and governments make decisions, how markets determine prices, and how economic forces shape national output, inflation, trade, and employment. It is one of the most versatile and intellectually rigorous degrees available — and it opens doors across economics, finance, banking, government, and research.

Economics at LSE is about developing a structured, analytical approach to social and individual decision-making. This programme builds a deep core in economic theory — micro and macroeconomics, mathematical economics, econometrics — and develops the quantitative skills that make economics graduates highly sought after by employers in every sector.
The LSE economics department is consistently ranked among the top in the world for research quality.
