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.

    The best Economics and Management College in Portugal

    Have you ever thought about having classes, and behind the professor you can see Carcavelos’ beach? This dream turns reality in Nova SBE. Nova also has the best facilities I ever have seen. And of course, the education is amazing. If your CV has Nova SBE, certainly you’re one of the best economists and managers from Portugal and even Europe.

    Experience enriching prog. in a 1st class school

    Nova SBE offered me a perfectly organized experience from the application process up until the thesis hand-in. This really differentiates Nova: you get answers from responsible point of contacts in hours vs. days or weeks in other institutions. With that, Nova’s administration reminded me of a well managed multinational company. Studying in one of the greatest campuses (especially if you like to be close to the sea) gives you a special feeling day to day.
    Having courses with experts on their fields and also from several high-positioned functionals gave me in a short time knowledge transfer insights of the status quo of my field and the tools how to develop those further in academia or private sector positions.
    Even though the programme is pretty demanding (Masters in Economics) I am very thankful for the experience and the support Nova gave me with everything! I definitely recommend the school and the offered programs.

    Education

    I did my Economics Bachelor in Nova from 2015 to 2018. It was a great foundation for my MAsters that I am currently taking. The professors are very motivated and very knowledgeable about the topics they teach. I would have like to have more interactive classes, as the relationship between the students and the professor is quite distant and cold.

    Education quality

    A good university. A really close relationship between professors and students. The exams are not easy and you need to be a hard worker in a way to have some success at this university. It’s good to have the university close to the sea, but the accessibility should be reviewed.

    Loving it

    NOVA SBE has a new campus and the facilities are great.
    The older students are really welcoming and helpful!
    It has a gym, a grocery strore and it’s near the Carcavelos beach. It’s simply the best place to study and to have a good time too.

    Education

    As soon as I entered this university I already felt I was part of a community but I would still change some things like the cleanliness and the fact that all study rooms are usually overcrowded by people from outside the faculty.
