## Required Courses

Our department offers 12 core courses and 12 elective courses for our students. Our required courses are fewer than over 80% of the other CUHK undergraduate programs. Our students are FREE to choose their areas of interest or to pursue many extra-curricular activities. Students are encouraged to take elective courses strategically for the claim of concentration and pursue their career development.

Please refer to [curriculum](https://admission.econ.cuhk.edu.hk/ug/bssc-economics/programme-structure/curriculum/) for the 12 core courses and [5 concentrations for different careers](https://admission.econ.cuhk.edu.hk/ug/bssc-economics/programme-structure/5-concentrations-for-different-careers/) for the elective courses.
