The BSM (Hons) programme with a Major in Finance and Economics prepares students for evolving careers across business, policy and financial sectors. It provides a holistic understanding of the financial sector, including its performance and evaluation, supported by core economic theories and policy frameworks. By combining economic theory with financial practice, the programme enables students to appreciate the interconnected and complementary nature of these disciplines. The curriculum is designed to develop strong conceptual and applied knowledge in financial markets, corporate finance, and economic policy, with a particular focus on the interaction between financial systems and macroeconomic developments, including monetary and fiscal policies at both domestic and global levels. It also focuses on building deep conceptual clarity, rigorous quantitative skills, and practical application through case studies, internships, and research projects, thereby enhancing both academic rigour and real-world relevance. Students are trained to appreciate how financial markets and corporate performance are shaped by policy environments, global capital flows, and macroeconomic shocks.
Upon completion, students will be able to:
The curriculum progressively develops a strong theoretical foundation in economics and finance; advanced quantitative and analytical skills, including econometrics and financial modelling; skills in data analysis using modern tools and software; and exposure to global financial systems and central banking challenges.
Given the rapid transformation of the financial sector driven by fintech innovations, digital disruption, and increasing global financial integration, the programme equips students with future-ready skills. Graduates are prepared to navigate complex financial environments characterised by volatility, cross-border capital movements, and evolving regulatory frameworks.
Graduates are well prepared to pursue diverse and rewarding careers in banks, NBFCs, regulatory bodies, financial institutions, consulting firms, and fintech companies, taking on roles such as equity analyst, project finance specialist, portfolio manager, financial analyst, and related profiles.
The programme also provides a strong foundation for pursuing postgraduate studies (MBA, MSc Finance/Economics) and Doctoral Research (PhD) at leading global institutions, supported by rigorous training in analytical and research skills.

Free electives let students pursue any particular area in more depth, develop alternate areas of expertise, or learn more about many other interests. They provide flexibility for customising education at the University. It can take the following form:
Notes:
All graduating students must have completed an Undergraduate Thesis or a Capstone Project. Students can approach a faculty member within the University to serve as a mentor for their undergraduate thesis. Students with a CGPA below the cut-off must complete a capstone project. These projects involve interdisciplinary groups (four to six students) collaborating to solve real-world problems that require expertise from multiple fields. They identify a problem and seek guidance from a faculty mentor to formulate a capstone project, which can be done across two semesters (six credits each semester or three + nine credits) or in a single semester.
A summer internship offers invaluable professional experience and the chance to develop specific, employable skills. It provides an excellent opportunity to explore potential career paths post graduation or discover new graduate programme interests. This experience connects with industry, often serving as a direct stepping stone to a job offer. Most of our programmes include a mandatory internship requirement.
It's advised that you start thinking about internships early in the monsoon semester. You may seek advice from the Career Development Centre.
All students will complete 45 hours of community engagement to develop a sense of social responsibility, enhance problem-solving skills, and understand their role as engaged members of society. They must undergo a mandatory course, VOL101 Engagement with Society, which is a graduation requirement. Students are advised to complete the course during the first two years at the University. Volunteer work could include teaching underprivileged children, participating in adult literacy programmes, distributing blankets or other items, working with old age homes and orphanages, providing support and encouragement to patients at hospitals, cleaning heritage sites, engaging with workers on campus, operating a food bank, engaging with the police, municipal government, zoo, sanitation services, etc.
