Where it leads
At Licence level the economics market is narrow, and most graduates continue into a Master in economics, econometrics or banking-finance. The degree prepares you for junior analytical roles in banking, public administration and development institutions, in a city that hosts the African Development Bank and the BCEAO ecosystem.
