Established in 1922, the University of Delhi is truly a pioneering institution, known for its internationally renowned faculty, highly reputed departments and above all for its commitment to impart quality, variety, depth and relevance in education to its students. It believes in not just harnessing the vast talent of young minds, but also imbibing in them a sense of ethics, self reliance and social responsibility. University of Delhi is an amalgamation of the finest of environment, faculty and students.

In 1973, the department of Business Economics pioneered the Masters Program in Business Economics, MBE, patterned on a similar program conducted by the Harvard Business School. Since then the Department has become a centre of excellence, imparting quality education to the students. The eclectic blend of faculty, academicians, researchers and professionals drawn from India and abroad, with their vast pool of managerial expertise distinguished the Department from others and gives it a revered position. Today, it boasts of an illustrious alumni base of over a thousand people who have made a mark in various capacities in the corporate world as well as in the academia.

The Department has consistently endeavored to provide students with strong conceptual and analytical skills in order to inculcate proficient management capabilities in them. The pedagogy has been designed to create an environment where learning is facilitated by numerous channels for self expression and introspection. It combines case studies, field wok and instrumented feedback with a strong emphasis on concepts and theory. Aiming to synchronize theoretical and practical elements of business, the curriculum has been continuously developed and modified over the years in conformity with feedback received from the industry and the alumni.

Value Proposition

Master of Business Economics (MBE) Programme offered by University of Delhi, founded in 1973, was instituted to focus on the crucial nexus between Business and Economics. The programme offers its students an enhanced understanding of business fundamentals augmented with Applied Economics which realigns the managerial decision-making. The curriculum of the programme spans across the fields of Finance, Marketing & Economics along with the quantitative perception of the markets to understand and predict their behavior in future without losing the sight of environmental considerations of such business activities. As the world is grappling with a global financial crisis, there is a need for an exploration of what led to it. This starkly brings out the need of clear understanding of business and the governing economic factors which drive the business at a national and international scale. This is where MBE has carved its niche to address such business issues and concerns. What sets it apart from other postgraduate courses is that it not only bridges the long-drawn gap between business and economics but also aids in managerial decision-making by bringing together business fundamentals and economic concepts.

MBE programme, patterned on a similar programme offered by Harvard Business School, offers up-to-date world-class curriculum along with interactive student activities to ensure the holistic development of interpersonal skills of students as individuals and team players to make them successful in every walk of life

Collaborations

At MBE, there is always a strong emphasis on learning. From theory to application, the student learns what makes him a good professional and more importantly - an informed individual. There is always an endeavor to learn from those who are the best in their fields. From game theory to branding strategies, students learn from teachers who are from both, the academia as well as business organizations.
