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.

    Student review

    I love my experience at Kabarak since it not only builds one professionally but provides holistic learning in terms of equipping students with public speaking skills done through numerous internal debates, co curriculum activities and even their spirituality. There are still things such as involvement of the students in policies and rules that apply to them that is still a work in progress but we have seen an improvement by creation of student bodies in all faculties in the university.

    Religion

    Kabarak University (KABU) is a private Christian university in Kenya. The university features academic, religious, sports, art, and recreational facilities like swimming pools and merry-go-rounds. The institution provides holistic Christian based quality education, training research and outreach activities. Here on the campus, we get to enjoy free internet and security is provided all the time. This makes my study here safe and secure. The school is purely Christian based and all should observe the culture and practices of Christianity. We get to learn more on Christian teachings and this brings us closer to God. I really love KABU it’s simply the best around.

    A good University

    Kabarak University provides the best quality education and training one can dream of,with very interactive and professional lecturers,with a conducive environment for learning.However,from my observation the school doesn’t care much about the poor student, everything in and around kabarak university is expensive compared to other places and universities in Kenya.The school should consider all students needs and realize that all students are not the same financially.I would recommend the school to anyone who doesn’t have financial problems.Kabarak University is very International in my opinion,I feel I have learnt alot at kabarak theoretically speaking of course,practically not so much,I think it’s an area they need to improve.
