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.

    The complexity of the programme

    What I most appreciate about my univeristy is the diversity of the courses and how fully committed the teachers, as well as the students are. Indeed, facing the adversity and the intensity of the programme, I happened to be myself intellectually stimulated which allowed me to develop personally and improve my studying methods. However, I would say, the building being in renovation for the next 4 years, that Paris Dauphine Univeristy is not at its optimal capacity yet, which is why I’m all the more excited to see its potential fully exploited. To put it in a nutshell, I would definitely recommand this univeristy, as it offers many opportunities, not only on the professional level, but also on the personal level.

    Excellent

    Paris Dauphine is indeed recognized worldwide for its teaching in organizational and market sciences. This is why one can specialize in many interesting fields such as Finance or Marketing. It is also the case for the numerous research works it has been able to carry out. So, I love my University and I would recommend it very strongly.

    Greatness

    I appreciate the rigorousness required, the involvement of the lecturers, the opportunities offered in terms of student life, the wide choice of masters and the career opportunities offered by the latter. The university is really invested in our success and has established a lot of partnerships with foreign university so the students can spend at least one semester or even one year abroad.
