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.

    Resilience in the midst of struggles

    My experience in university of Abuja was a mix of deep challenges, though I allowed myself have so fun at some point even though I was an introvert.

    I dislike the fact that we were giving deadlines to pay fees or you won’t be able to register to your semester courses without considering the struggling student
    Some professors were not helping and most students read to pass not to actually gain knowledge because of the whole pressure
    I hope things have changed for the better since I’ve left and they now have a different administratives

    The non academic staffs and rude and will make you want to cry also

    Activities

    University of Abuja is located in the capital city of Nigeria- Abuja. Gwagwalada to be precise that is about 55.8 km from the city center. I like the university because of the assemblage of students from different culture and background who come together to learn. Lectures are relatively exciting and impactful. Lack of study infrastructure like lecture halls, hostel accommodation etc are some of the low points of studying at the university of Abuja. The very hot and harsh weather also makes learning inconducive. If you are in nigeria and africa i can recommend university especially for majors around Humanity and Social Science

    General overview from my Experience

    If you ask anyone about UniAbuja, 90% of the time they’ll surely have something nice to say about the institution. I’ve been here for a long time and I haven’t any negative thing to say about this institution. The lecturers are well rounded, the Classrooms are standard and the scenery is breathtaking. It would be a wise decision if anyone chose to come here.
