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.
The University of Gdańsk has been an incredible experience for me. Not only are the professors highly knowledgeable and supportive, but the students I have met have been amazing as well. They are always willing to lend a helping hand when I am struggling with a difficult concept or assignment. The environment at this university is so calm and welcoming, it truly feels like a second home. I am grateful for the friendships I have made here and the support system I have found within the university community. I highly recommend the University of Gdańsk for anyone looking for a top-notch education and a supportive and inclusive environment.

View moreAt Gdańsk I noticed something different in the last few months, some students it seemed were getting preferential treatment from others. I thought that was the case but it wasn’t, it wasn’t special treatment rather it was a focus on their strengths that were outstanding from others. The professors love people who can come out of their shell and excel. I am motivated to do even better.
