Student review [#68754] for Economics
at North-West University - NWU

The BCom Economics and International Trade program at North-West University was no joke! It really put me through the most, but in the best way possible.

Right from the get-go, the lecturers made sure we had a solid grasp of economic theory – micro, macro, you name it. But they didn’t just throw dense textbooks at us. They actually took the time to break it all down and show how those concepts play out in the real world of global trade.

That’s one thing I really appreciated about the program – the practical applications. Sure, we crunched numbers and ran econometric models till we were cross-eyed. But we also got to dig into fascinating case studies, analyzing real companies’ trade strategies and policies. It was like a thrilling detective story, but with economics as the culprit!

Speaking of practical, the international trade courses were where it was really at. We learned the nitty-gritty of trade finance, supply chains, customs regulations – everything you need to know to navigate the crazy world of cross-border business. And let me tell you, negotiating mock trade agreements with your mates was an absolute blast!

What really set this program apart, though, was the interdisciplinary approach. Economics alone is great, but when you blend it with finance, marketing, and international business management? That’s when the magic happens. It gave us this holistic view of how economic forces, trade policies, and business strategies all intertwine on the global stage.

Look, I won’t lie – that BCom grind was intense. But when I graduated in 2018, I knew I was armed with skills that would set me apart in the cutthroat world of global economics and business. The program’s perfect blend of theory, quantitative analysis, real-world applications, and that all-important international perspective? An absolute game-changer.
