Opening Message

Welcome and congratulations to all new postgraduates!

On behalf of all lecturers and staff, I want to welcome all of you, the future leaders and economists.
Admission to the Faculty of Economics and Administration (FEA) means you are just a step from
your ambition and aspiration. We are thrilled to have you with us on campus, and we are excited to
help nurture your academic strengths, encourage your personal growth, and inspire your creativity.

The faculty's mission is to develop academic excellence in the field of economics and administration.
FEA was formed to promote and improve the economic knowledge and other abilities that are
important in the highly competitive world of today. FEA has established itself as one of the leading
economic faculties in the country and has produced many prominent leaders such as state leaders,
economists and academics who are world-class, and responsible corporate citizens.

Program curriculum review is undertaken by the faculty periodically, taking into consideration the
views of all important stakeholders to ensure that they remain contemporary and meet the demands of
the labor market. An inbound-outbound program has also been introduced to give you the opportunity
to experience varsity life in uniquely different but exciting world class universities abroad.

There are countless ways for you to get involved and make connections with each other, such as
through research projects, student association, campus organizations, intervarsity sports, volunteer
work in our community, and much more. I encourage you to take advantage of all that FEA has to
offer during your time here.

The faculty is staffed with arguably some of the best academics in the fields of economics, public
administration, development studies and applied statistics. Many of them have secured international
research grants, consultancies, and have published in high impact journals. It is the blend of
academics of high calibre and diligent students that provided the critical but constructive environment
for engaging in scholarly discourse at the faculty.

This handbook serves as a reference for academic information about the postgraduate programs
offered by the faculty. It is a useful guide on the courses, rules and regulations as well as on the
modes of assessment and grading schemes. Please read it carefully and observe the details of the
structure of your chosen programme of study. It is our hope that you will also enjoy the very
congenial social environment that the faculty offers.

I wish you all the best in your academic pursuits and hope that you will make the best use of the
opportunity to further enhance and enrich your knowledge and skills in making a significant
contribution to education provision and industry in the region
