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).
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 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.
Based on my experience, Veritas University is a very good school to get your perspective on the real world. If you do not strive to me more you get less from your experience. In Veritas you would have an open field to decide your outcomes at the end of your program both academic, spiritual and social aspects.
From my experience, you can maximize your academic journey by actively investing in doing outside of class learning, personal studies, participating in competitions, holding leadership positions and most important remaining extremely curious.
To maximize your social life and a valuable network amongst students you can join extra- curricular activities like the debate club, sports team, the veritas orchestra and any other activities that is in alignment with your future prospects.
Of course for your spiritual growth, there would always be weekly adoration, daily Mass, charismatic society and so many groups of people you can always resonate with.
Specifically to my experience, I had a hard time doing anything during my first year because I was pre-occupied with adjust to the new environment, the food and the people. Mostly, I was unsure of what to do.
As of this year, my 4th year my network has grown exponentially and I get to have meaningful conversations with like minds by being part of the debate club, volleyball team, being the coordinator of studies in my department. So I advice anyone considering Veritas to be confident and take steps to be involved in what is going on within the school.
Campus life can be stressful sometimes because of assignments and so many things fighting for your attention and time but you will find ways to adjust.
Overall, to anyone considering studies in a private university in Abuja Nigeria, I would recommend Veritas University because it has potential for growth as an institution and gives opportunities for growth for its students.
Attending Veritas University, Abuja was a meaningful part of my academic journey. What I liked most about the university was its calm and focused learning environment. Unlike bigger institutions where things can feel crowded or chaotic, Veritas gave me a sense of structure and discipline. The lecturers were approachable, and I appreciated the fact that most of them genuinely wanted students to succeed. The campus also has a close-knit community feel, which made it easier to connect with people and build friendships.
The only downside for me was the administrative process, which could sometimes be slow and frustrating. Outside of that, I had no major issues.
Would I recommend Veritas University? Yes, I would especially for students who want a disciplined, faith-based, and structured learning environment. It may not yet be on the same level as some older, more established universities in Nigeria, but it’s steadily growing and building a reputation for academic seriousness. If you’re the kind of student who values focus, smaller class sizes, and a community that feels like family, then Veritas University is a good choice.
