What Is an Economics Degree?

Are you passionate about the business and finance sector? Do you follow the national and international news? Then, an Economics degree is the answer. It has always been one of the most sought-after degrees amongst youth. 

Economics degrees are designed to tackle all the issues that have an impact on financial situations, ranging from production to how resources are used. Candidates are trained to understand how the economy suffers fluctuations based on the market’s needs and wants followed by the market’s supply and demand.

By far one of the most crucial elements is that economics is divided into microeconomics and macroeconomic. Microeconomics deals with the economic behaviour at an individual level (companies, buyers, sellers and others), whilst macroeconomics illustrates the bigger picture, on a national or global scale (unemployment, economic growth, inflation and so on).

Benefits of an Economics Degree

Having an economics degree increases anyone’s chances to find a job, regardless of the field. This is mainly due to the fact that graduates hold many transferable abilities, such as analytical and problem-solving skills, that are suitable for any career. 

A study made by the London School of Economics and Political Science showed that graduates from an economics course have a starting salary of £33,000 per year. Having a job in the field right after graduation is a major positive aspect and comes with a lot of opportunities for career advancement.

Economics Degree Structure

Economics degrees are usually a three years commitment and sometimes are offered as part of a joint degree. This means that Economics can be studied along with another subject such as engineering, management, law, computer science and others.

This degree can be found either as a Bachelor of Science (BSc) or Bachelor of Arts (BA). The BSc focuses more on economical theory and statistical techniques, while BA is combined with social sciences and qualitative modules.

    Mind Blowing Experience

    Having professors that are interested and care about your growth has been one of the mind blowing experience for me here at New Bulgarian University. Asides from that the surrounding is beautiful and refreshing. Although the feeding and accommodation options aren’t the best here at New Bulgarian University , I would say I have been blown away since I got here. Will I recommend? Definitely!

    Waste of time

    The program for business is terrible. First of all it’s outdated, secondly most of the professors make their lectures unproductive and boring because they don’t have a clue how to keep the interest of young people. Most of the courses throughout the 4 years of the bachelor’s degree are a true waste of time.
    Most importantly the chess guy didn’t show up for a straight year and I couldn’t play chess 🥲

    Underestimated oppurtunity for Bulgarian students

    This uni is very good for people who would like to pursue a complex student profile, as NBU provides its students with various options and flexibility for their development. You can choose among many programs and mix them, a bit like the US liberal arts system. The uni describes itself as humanitarian and it seeks to develop the student into not just a good professional, but a man of the world, with a mindset to always look for his/her continuing education in life and to always be aware and capable of understanding his circumstances. I believe one can achieve this task in NBU if there is a personal wish, as most of the prerequisites are provided by the uni. The material base is nice and modern. Most of the teachers are well educated, open-minded, motivated, kind and respectful. There are many interesting people to meet there, as the uni brings various types of people into one place. Students who study Economics, Law, Biology, Architecture, Arts, Music and many more. The mix is unique! Don’t hesitate to at least do your research about NBU. It’s gonna be worth it. There are many negative opinions about it from people who have either never been in it, or from those who can’t understand it. This is normal. I don’t say, however, that it’s perfect. But nothing is. I have managed to motivate young people to see it and decide for themselves with an unbiased mind, I would be happy. Thank you!
