MBA Student Life

LPU's MSc Economics programme is a two-year programme that includes a master thesis and provides in-depth knowledge of cutting-edge techniques in theoretical and applied economics. Economics is concerned with the behaviour and interactions of economic agents, as well as the operation of economic systems. Economics is an intellectually fascinating and challenging subject. The discipline of economics is distinguished by two major characteristics. First, economists create behavioural conceptual models to forecast responses to changes in policy and market conditions. Second, statistical analysis is frequently used to investigate these changes. Physiocrats and Mercantilists were early economists who served as advisors to rulers. Economists are now found everywhere, from performing advisory functions to formulating policy. They also contribute to the development of a wide range of other public policies, such as health care, climate change, social welfare, school reforms, labour market dynamics, economic development, and efforts to reduce inequality. The highest salary package offered to MSc Economics students was 29.7 lac, and the average salary package was 6.9 lac.

MSc in Economics at Lovely Professional University Punjab is one of the most demanding programmes offered by LPU.

This programme provides students with advanced training in core areas of economics, while also enabling them to specialise according to their interests. They reflect the rapid expansion of the subject in recent years and deal with topical issues.

My cousin's sister completed her MSc in Economics from LPU itself and she is now pursuing a Ph.D. in the same programme from LPU.

There are key points that are worth to be highlighted at LPU:

1. Capable of opening new opportunities especially for the students who wish to pursue a higher degree in the field of economics as it includes the subjects of economics starting from basics to the advanced one including the course on econometrics which is high in demand.

2. Education is imparted under the semester system and or improved learning, emphasis is laid on Seminars and Case-Based Teaching.

3. Nowadays, the knowledge of statistical tools and their applicability is highly required by big industries. This demand is fully kept in the mind when curriculum for the programme is designed.

LPU provides the students with the following options:
a. Core and Elective Courses
b. Language and Communication Skills
c. Open Minors
d. Workshops and Seminar Courses

Salient Features

#Software Skills: Exposure to data analysis using statistical softwares like SPSS, MS-Excel, etc

Taking into consideration the above points, I feel that, Lovely Professional University's M Sc (Hons) Economics is the best in providing exposure to the student at various levels.
