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.

    Worst decision of my life.

    I absolutely do not recommend this place and regret giving it a chance in the first place despite all the rumours and media talk. Now I’ve seen it first hand for myself and its beyond anything an outsider can imagine. The university has clearly been setup as a scheme of a quick money grab and not for academic purposes.

    Almost all professors are unqualified to teach and are simply fillers which has resulted in frequent facility member changes every semester. Basic professionalism, manners, respect are not part of AUM at all. The provosts & staff members will go head to head with students by belittling and disrespecting them. They are unprofessional & disrespectful and cannot handle any questions asked with respect in regards to academic inquires.

    The university is run with serious homophobia and racism throughout and has gone as far as firing 2 homosexual professors. Some professors have continuously passed on racist, homophobic and sexual commentary to students on multiple occasions during lectures with little to no action taken as students feel scared to approach staff and send complaints.

    The class syllabus is there for decoration and is a useless piece of paper.

    Full presidential scholarships are given out like candy to students who do not attend or participate in classes all year around. The careless students are being pardoned by the universities founder from the sadden group as friendships are tired in between.

    Only a very few students with high GPAs and a high work ethic have received a well deserved full scholarships. Other students have gotten rejected every year for any scholarship application as the full scholarships are favoured to the Jordanian students since the founder is Jordanian.

    Students have dropped out of the “university” for its lack of professionalism and lack of experience in running an academic place. Its a circus and a fraudulent place. Under 300k euros in profit annual is made by this “international university” by sucking money from students pockets and 14.8 million euros in losses.

    Ex staff and professors have come forth to some students about the university’s behind the scenes treatments and sketchy “plans” and operations. All social media engagement is purchased and promoted in underdeveloped countries in order to take advantage of the less fortunate by selling them fake hopes and dreams.

    2019 – 2022 has been nothing short of a nightmare at AUM. If you are serious about your studies and future do not go to this place. Students including myself gave them a chance every semester for improvement and not one stone has been moved. They ask us for feedback and waste our time in meetings only to not acknowledge a thing we’ve said.

    I have very few semesters left in this place and cannot leave now unless I get the bachelor’s certificate so I do not start from square one when going elsewhere to make up for lost time at this place.

    You will end up wasting your time, money, energy, mental, and emotional health on people who don’t know how to run anything other than their mouths. Avoid at all costs. I could go on but this is the tamest review about my university experience at AUM.
