History reference

Экономический факультет ГГУ им. Ф. Скорины  The history of the faculty begins in 1969, when the speciality "Labour Economics" was highlighted as part of the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics.
Since the first enrollment in 1969, the faculty has been developing dynamically and in 1976 the number of students reached 870 (full-time education) and 800 at the correspondence department.
