The Yangon University of Economics (formerly the Institute of Economics, Yangon; Burmese: ရန်ကုန် စီးပွားရေး တက္ကသိုလ် [jàɰ̃ɡòʊɰ̃ síbwájé tɛʔkəθò]) is the finest university of economics and business in Myanmar. Founded as the Section of Economics of Yangon University in 1924, the section became an independent university of higher learning in 1964. The University offers undergraduate and graduate degrees and diplomas, mostly in commerce, statistics and economics. It is also the best business school in the country, offering full-time, executive MBF, MHTM, MMM and MBA degrees.
The university serves over 1000 undergraduate and graduate students over its three Yangon area campuses: the main campus from Yangon University in Kamayut in the city and satellite campuses in Hlaing (also from Yangon University), and Ywarthargyi.
