NMIMS Summer School 2024

I wanted to spend my summer vacations learning something new, gain a new experience and brush up on my economics. NMIMS- deemed to be university is located in Vile Parle, Mumbai and they have been offering one week long summer courses for years. This year they had their course between 13th-17th of May. 

They had 2 subjects this year- Global Economics and Data Analysis. I was looking for something that covered both of these subjects so I was thrilled to find out about NMIMS's summer. I have been taught Macroeconomics at a national level at my high school, but I was curious about the international aspect of it. The class on Global Economics was very interesting. We covered various topics like free trade, tariff and globalization. All these topics are truly intriguing to me. I had so much fun discussing, learning and debating with my peers. All lectures of Global Economics were very interactive and our teacher made sure to invite the students to express their views about the topics of discussion.

Data Analysis was the other subject and it included everything from learning the basics of Microsoft Excel to managing large amounts of data. Data and Economics are two things that go hand in hand so I was interested to learn how I could integrate the two subjects. Data Analysis also included a touch of Statistics and understanding the relationship between all these subjects was quiet fascinating. Data Analysis is a skill that everyone should learn, every field requires the management and analysis of data. We learnt various shortcuts, analysis methods and representation of different types of data. 

Beyond the learning aspect of the summer school, I had a lot of fun interacting with my peers and teachers. I ended up making a few friends along the way. It was a remarkable experience in every aspect. It was exciting to be a student of the institution for a few days, exploring the campus grounds and getting a feel for what it would be like to study there. The campus was s place where they encouraged students to thrive and pursue what they like. The environment was cheerful, happy and supportive. In conclusion, I had an incredible time there and I am grateful for the faculty that made it happen.
