UGC approved four-year International Economics and Finance degree programme unveiled

A new contender for the most contemporary and innovative Undergraduate Degree has entered the higher education arena of Sri Lanka. 

Every student who enters the halls of the Royal Institute of Colombo (RIC) is given the opportunity to become the best, in both Sri Lanka and the world. Over RIC’s storied past of over 40 years in higher education, the unique factor that has prevailed throughout is common, i.e., success is guaranteed to those students who wish to take on a challenging course of study, with determined effort and focus. 

The Bachelor of Business (Honours) Degree in International Economics and Finance unveiled at RIC offers undergraduates a unique opportunity to acquire expertise in both finance and economics. This UGC approved four-year study course in the Bachelor of Business (Honours) Degree in International Economics and Finance (IEF) Programme is challenging yet stimulating and provides an unparalleled practical depth. The objective of the BB (Honours) IEF Programme is to gain an in-depth understanding of the economic, trade, financial, political, and other forces that have driven the processes of economic globalisation and integration, as well as of the private and public sectors and the institutions that shape the international economic environment, and its developments and policies. It also prepares students to analyse the most important issues in today’s globalised economy, including the macroeconomic and microeconomic causes and consequences of international economic and financial policies and trends.

By continuously updating and evaluating the BB (Honours) IEF curriculum, we encourage our students to utilise major current trends in the global economy and apply their learning and analysis to practical situations. This constant process of revitalization ensures that the BB (Honours) IEF programme remains at the forefront of educational excellence.
