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.

    Learning System

    This is a great university with great infrastructure and culture. One thing that is outstanding about this University is how the learning curve takes place. From lecturers, lecture halls, lectures, exam coordination, markings and results. Everything happens in a very orderly manner. At no point will you experience cases of missing marks, unlike many other universities. All lecturers are punctual, always delivering content with few to no missing classes. Exams are always marked in time and results released on time. The system works so well that it feels automated.
    Another aspect that I like about the university is the facilities. Facilities that students use in the university are world class. The hostels are super clean and well maintained, the grass on the pitches are always kept short and watered, the pathways are always cleaned and maintained, flowers are always watered and pruned and so much more.
    This is one university that I will always recommend to other people.

    Strong Academics and Vibrant Campus Experience

    I studied Economics and Finance at Kenyatta University and overall, I had a positive experience. The university provides a solid academic foundation with qualified lecturers who are knowledgeable and supportive. I appreciated the structure of the programme, which combined theory with practical application. The campus life was vibrant and there were many opportunities to grow through clubs, events, and networking. However, at times, administrative processes could be slow. Despite that, I would definitely recommend Kenyatta University to anyone looking for a well-rounded university experience.

    Life as a student in Kenya

    Joining campus was initially a scary process and leaving was even worse but in between the 4 years that I’ve been a student, I have learnt a lot and experienced a great deal. One thing I love about school is that it given opportunity for doversity, creativity and innovation. We are assisted in developing our careers as well as our characters. Various prpgrammes are available to students who would like to participate in co-curriculum activities. I was honoured to be a Career ambassador in my second year and to be part of a team that participated in the Kenya National Economic Symposium in my third year. Both of these event helped me view the world in a different perspective and understand it in other people’s language.
    I believe that being a student at Kenyatta university has shaped me into the responsible and independent young woman I am today.
