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.

    Language barrier

    The opportunity is great but if you don’t understand the language you will not be able to get the most of the opportunities presented to you. Every information is in Italian. Although being a student city, you can find yourself in a situation where you as lost because of the lack of information and proper assistance.

    Unisi. MSc Economics

    I did an Erasmus exchange in unisi. I love the city honestly. The university building is too old. The professors were alright could be better. There are no activities in the university whatsoever. But it’s good for one sem.

    Learned teachers

    University of Siena has a great resource if I am talking about the teaching staffs. They have a very good knowledge about the subjects. The difficulty that I faced was due to language. Unfortunately, though it’s a student city it is very difficult to find people who speak English. Most of the information’s even in the university and the student residences are in Italian so sometimes the information is lost in translation. So if you are interested prepare yourself well before coming here A2 level of Italian would be very beneficial.

    Above average

    A historical university that holds its courses in historical places. Needs to be updated in some respects. It is strongly affected by the post-bankruptcy of Monte Dei Paschi but tries to maintain its excellence. I recommend this university because it is above average compared to other Italian schools.
