Introduction
The Symbiosis School of Economics (SSE) was established in the year 2008 with the introduction of the undergraduate programme – B. Sc (Economics). While our first batch graduated in June 2011, we have introduced M. Sc (Economics), offering specializations in International Trade and Development Studies. SSE has also introduced three new certificate courses in the fields of Quantitative economics, Capital markets and Corporate Social responsibility.

With its interdisciplinary flavor it will provide students with career opportunities in various industries, financial institutions, media and communication, government, research and academia. At SSE we aim at creating a class of graduates in Economics who would be equipped not only with the strong foundation of economic theory but also with skills required to tackle and analyze the real world business and economic issues with a strong research focus.
