Bachelor in Economics and Management
Program Description
The Bachelor's degree in Economics and Management offers a comprehensive and progressive four-year programme, combining fundamental teaching in economics, management and quantitative methods. It is aimed at students who wish to understand economic and managerial mechanisms while developing analytical and cross-disciplinary skills adapted to contemporary issues. The teaching approach combines lectures and tutorials, promoting autonomy and critical thinking. Throughout the programme, students benefit from an international and multicultural learning environment that promotes open-mindedness and mobility. The Bachelor's degree in Economics and Management is taught in English at Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi by internationally renowned professors.
In the first year, students acquire the essential basics: an introduction to economics, management, applied mathematics and statistics, supplemented by courses in law and economic history. Particular attention is paid to language skills and digital tools, which are essential in an international academic and professional environment.
The second year deepens theoretical and applied knowledge. Students study public economics, economic policy, general accounting, as well as probability and statistics for economics. The curriculum also covers finance, business law and organisational management, broadening students' career prospects.
In the third year, the programme focuses on specialisation and application. Students study microeconomics of finance, econometrics, cost accounting, and various complementary subjects (marketing, strategic management, international economics, etc.). This final year allows students to consolidate their analytical skills, strengthen their practice of quantitative methods, and explore more advanced topics related to global economic challenges.
Courses are taught in English and meet the standards of excellence and rigour specific to the French education system. Students also benefit from a tutoring system, either in groups or individually.
The curriculum follows the European ECTS system and is awarded by Université Paris Cité.
