The Economics Department has clearly marked its footprints as one of the best economics departments in Egypt. Our successes abound, ranging from the excellent annual reports we receive from British external examiners on the department’s performance and on our students’ researches, to the high performance of our postgraduate students in British universities, to winning first places in international competitions by economics students, the latest of which was the South Korean embassy research competition in 2019. Last but not least, is winning the University Cup for best performance at the university level multiple times by economics students, the latest cup achieved in 2019, reflecting the high academic standard of our graduates.
Almost half a century ago, Keynes, one of the most prominent economists in the world, said: “The ideas of economists and political thinkers, both when they are right and when they are wrong, are more powerful than commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by little else.” If you want to know how the world is ruled or if you plan to pursue a career in banking, business or finance or to be employed in a wide range of national, international or governmental institutions, then economics is your choice. Furthermore, the course prepares you for postgraduate studies in economics. If you still have doubts about the importance of economics remember that every year the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences chooses an economist – from among only six other professions – to be eligible for its esteemed Nobel Prize. Accordingly, being an economist not only enhances your knowledge and builds you a successful career, but also makes you a member of a distinguished profession.

MSA University is always keen to offer its students a competitive edge to complement their Bachelor degrees. And because many students are interested to acquire a strong foundation in many areas of study, MSA University decided to introduce minors that will be of interest to MSAians with high academic achievement, in many exciting areas. Earning a minor allows students to address their diverse academic interests and develop extra skills, which for a future employer is very important to show that they have a second area of expertise. The student can chose a minor that goes in handy with the student’s major or a minor that is in a totally different field to add excitement to their studying experience at MSA. For example, if you’re an Engineering student, how about taking up a Management minor? You sure would like to open up your own business one day, and you’ll certainly need to learn more about organizational management and how to become a great leader. It's a very flexible way to plan ahead and combine their areas of interest and save time and money in their years of university study; it only consists of 5 courses. The only requirement is a minimum of CGPA 2.00 in the first year in university. It’s worthy to mention that taking a minor will extend the student’s regular graduation time by one semester.
