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.

    A great experience

    A fundamental experience to understand what I want to do in life. In the three years I attended Bocconi University, I laid the foundations for my business education. I will always be grateful to it. I absolutely recommend it.

    Everything was great ( apart from the covid part)

    I really enjoyed this experience because I built a really strong relationship with other students and professors. This fact has permitted me to grow as a person and also to improve my academic background by confronting myself with other people. I would encourage Bocconi to create a new method of exams for online courses (I have experienced it during the covid-19 period) because they could not manage to control and to avoid shameless situations such as software breakdowns just before the exams.

    Bocconi: Italian Quality

    The great thing about this University is that it is one of the few Italian universities offering such international programs. My course is unique and doesn’t exist anywhere else, so if you like arts and economics, Bocconi is the best place. The course provides both subjects concerning arts/philosophy, and ones more related to economics. Personally, I have decided to follow a different path because I am not so interested in working in this specific field, but this course is totally worth it if you want to work in a creative industry. Indeed, it gives people with a passion for luxury, arts and so on with a complete knowledge concerning management.
    The best part has been the great support offered by the University in every aspect, going from on-campus facilities to monthly job fairs to better understand the kind of career we want to pursue. This is often taken for granted in Italian universities.

    Hi, Alessandra hope you’re well, I’m thinking of studying there as well this year, however I am worried because many people say that the bachelor programmes are not worth the money spent and that if you don’t want to work in Finance later on it’s not worth it. I didn’t want to study a humanistic topic entirely on it’s because I worried later on for the job world so I thought combining it with Econ would be very nice as well as interesting. Could you maybe help me out a bit, I would be very grateful. Later on I also want to work preferably in the creative industry or journalism. What do you think?

    Environment and experiences

    Entering Bocconi, I was shy and uncertain. I was surprised to discover a supportive community that not only challenged me academically but also encouraged me to come out of my shell. I found myself surrounded by lifelong friends who turned out to be an invaluable support for me.

    Despite my initial indecision, my chosen course (Economics and Management for Arts and Culture) proved to be the perfect fit, seamlessly blending rigorous economic principles with insights into the cultural landscape. I found myself immersed in a dynamic environment that fostered healthy competition, pushing me to excel while simultaneously supporting my personal growth.

    Reflecting on my period at Bocconi, I can confidently say it was the best time of my life. Through unforgettable experiences in students associations, internships and study-abroad periods, Bocconi accompanied me from adolescence into adulthood. It provided me with the confidence and skills necessary to navigate the complexities of the real world, offering me an environment where I could flourish both academically and personally.

    Quality of the education

    Having studied in Spain, US, and UK, I can attest to the quality of education at Bocconi when compared with universities from other countries. The professors are of an extremely high quality, and they are always available for students to answer any doubts or provide any guidance. Bocconi has a competitive environment that demands a high degree of commitment from students. Yet the rewards for this high level of dedication are clear, an excellent education and an amazing student experience filled with deep friendships forged over studying.

    A place for learning through collaboration

    The 2 years of my Master of Science program have been the experience I sought after my Bachelor’s in India. Bocconi emphasized theoretical and practical ways of learning, which involved collaboration among my course peers and those in other universities and organizations. I feel more prepared to enter the workforce having realised the areas of my interest and following the pursuit of skills that will enhance my career trajectory.

    Perfect in the best ways

    Bocconi University’s dedication to diversity and sizable foreign student body make it stand out. Its distinctive programs are quite appealing to me. With its cutting-edge courses, the university creates a lively and welcoming atmosphere. To anyone looking for equality and a vibrant, diversified culture, I would heartily suggest it. Despite not being your usual expansive green area, the campus is quite lovely and has well-equipped classrooms and a good gym. Additionally noteworthy is Bocconi University’s commitment to student achievement, which includes offering a wealth of support resources to students pursuing any degree.
