About BA (Hons) Economics
The BA (Hons) Economics programme at the School of Liberal Studies provides students a deep understanding of the economy through a holistic and immersive learning approach, encouraging active engagement and critical thinking.

The programme aims to develop economists with a global outlook who are also deeply grounded in the social and cultural realities of the Global South.

Real stories. Real impact.
Anshu Verma
A journey that pushed me to think beyond boundaries and grow in ways I hadn’t imagined before. Coming from a structured academic background, stepping into an environment that encouraged curiosity, questioning and interdisciplinary learning was both refreshing and transformative.
One of the most valuable aspects of this journey has been the constant encouragement to step beyond comfort zones and embrace new ways of learning. This has helped me grow not only as a student but also as an individual who is more aware, adaptable and ready to take on challenges.
Shivani Bist
When I joined BMU for Liberal Studies, I was determined to pursue Economics, but the foundation courses in the 1st year opened a new world for me. I studied almost everything and practised everything—from stage plays to directing a film—and in that one year, I realised there were possibilities beyond one major and that I was capable of doing it all. It has pushed me to make an effort at every instance, to learn new things—from thinking deeply to writing, acting and managing teams.
You may join the School of Liberal Studies (SoLS) timid, shy and with a narrow horizon—SoLS will make sure to change you, give you a voice and expand your horizons. You will be a changed person every year.
