The economy is "BIG"

• Economics studies the factors that influence the income, wealth and welfare of a society. In other words, it studies “HOW DOES THE SYSTEM WORK?” The collected economic information helps in the formulation and implementation of economic and business policies. The aim of economics is to analyze and understand the distribution of wealth, the allocation and use of resources, and the possible consequences for economic and social well-being. Economics deals with such phenomena in the past and present and how they might develop in the future.

The economy is "NEURO"

• Behavioral economics involves understanding economic behavior and its consequences. It is about understanding why someone buys bread, goes to work, saves for retirement, gives to charity, acquires certain qualifications, sells an old car, gambles on horse racing, can't stop smoking, etc. It is also about understanding the process of making good or bad choices and whether people can be helped to make better choices.

The economy is "YOU"

• Enrolling in a study program is your own choice, right and your independent decision. The study of economics is designed to respect your own individuality, making the study personalized according to your understanding of the world and your role in it today and in the future. Choosing a study program is a big step in life and is based on your choice.

The study of Applied Economics provides students with the understanding and use of new "mental" instruments to improve decision-making in their future workplace or their own company and to be competitive not only in the 21st century.
• Explore, Have Fun, and Explain – Neuroscientists have realized through research that every curriculum at all levels of learning must provide a (RAD) approach: Anything new stimulates the transfer of information through the Reticular Activating System in the brain. Stress-free classrooms stimulate the transfer of information through the Amygdala as an affective filter. Pleasant associations related to learning raise the level of the happiness hormone (Dopamine) in the brain. Simply put, neuroscientists have concluded that the only true way to provide knowledge and understanding to students is through exploration, fun, and associations.
