Finance and Credit is a study program which will help you develop you analytical skills, as well as the skills for decision making. There are numerous beforehand prepared theories that will assist you in deciding which financial solutions are the best, but here you will discover that every situation is different. The beforehand prepared theories will help you see things, but not necessarily meaning that they will be able to be implemented the way they are.
Consequently, here you will develop your “sense” for managing things that are unpredictable, which that for you as a future economist, will be your greatest ally.

From the 4 elective possible courses, the students only pick two courses – between the first and the second elective course, i.e. between the third and the fourth, etc. E.g. only one course is chosen – either no.3 or no.4 (except if somewhere is specified otherwise).
In the given table below, the term un. elective stands for university elective course, and as for choosing one of these courses, the same rules apply as the standard elective courses.
After graduating you will acquire a title Bachelor of Economics.
