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.
Lasu is a great state University with large population and vibrant tutors and flexible learning pattern as well as conducive environment for studying and teaching interaction. The school is quite a busy place for both part time and full time students during the week days and weekends. It is a school with highly possessed dignity and regular renovation and curriculum planning exceptionally reviewed for update and upgrade purposes. Lasu is currently an academic strike free university currently in Nigeria when other university were on strike.
What I really dislike about the school is the inadequate planning in getting quick and prompt certificate after course completion and the stressful involved in examination registration, school fee payment and the enormous classroom population.
My recommendation for Lasu is to add Information Technology courses to their curriculum such as; cyber security, data science, project management and cloud computing for worldly certification recognition and graduate success.
What it’s like in the program is that the teachers are so well educated they don’t get anything wrong they are always right and the lectures are according to what the student will understand. There is no partiality or whatsoever.

Despite this setback, the school has been able to produce leaders in present-day Nigeria.
