CUHK Economics Department offers a major programme which provides rigorous training on the application of economic theories and statistical tools on analysing key modern day issues. To further achieve a balance between theory and application, our programme emphasises the development of key skills, especially mathematics, statistics, and programming.  In addition to a comprehensive selection of courses covering all aspects of economics, students also have access to various databases and modern quantitative software (including Bloomberg Terminals) in our own specialised computer labs.  Our all-round training enables students to develop their own unique economic and financial insights, thereby preparing them for the increasingly dynamic modern world.

CUHK Economics equips students with the logical mindset, theoretical frameworks and quantitative skills to excel in numerous business, finance and academic professions. Graduates of CUHK Economics have been very well placed in many prestigious multinational financial and academic institutions.
