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).
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 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.
Brawijaya University offers some of the most inspiring and functional education spaces on campus, making it a strong contender for students seeking both collaborative and individual learning environments.

Within faculty-level facilities, the FILKOM reading room (Faculty of Computer Science) is also notable. It houses over 15,000 physical works, including theses and reference books, all in a quiet, well-structured space.
Additionally, administrative sciences students benefit from the Fadel Muhammad Resource Center (FMRC), a specialized library offering journals, student theses, and digital access, even outside standard hours through its online catalog.
Taken together, these varied environments blending modern design, digital access, and natural ambience showcase Brawijaya University’s commitment to cultivating vibrant and effective learning spaces for all kinds of academic activities.
While some lecturers are good and qualified, there are also quite a few who teach without creating an impact or providing valuable lessons. UB’s programs are excellent, both in terms of themes and content. However, in some events, especially faculty events, the majority of participants are drawn from students who are also in class and diverted to participate in related programs.
