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.
This is an amazing university, with amazing spirit and amazing people! Raised thanks to the help of many companies, this is the university of the future and, with Carcavelos, a new and clear horizon is presented to us!
View moreNova is a very good school that will prepare you for your future work life as no other school does. Really enjoyed my colleagues and professors.
The courses were very interesting and helpful for the most economic areas.
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.
View moreNova SBE is undoubtedly the best Business School in Portugal, offering the most powerful university experience. The courses are interesting, the staff is innovative, and the campus is green. Everyone here is supportive and hard working, which fosters a culture of projects and continuous and disruptive growth.
View moreNova 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.
Great atmosphere, right by the beach. Rigorous but rewarding if you do the work, and the opportunities and people make up for it. I recommend joining a student club as they are one of the main contributors for having a good atmosphere.
View moreNova has a unique location perfect for studies with a beach to relax and plenty of spaces to work.
Student life is great with a lot of sunset parties and a great community that supports the students. It can be a bit competitive but everyone is sincerely down to earth and amazing to work with and hang out.
The international exposure and community is also incredible as you can meet anyone that has lived from all around the world. Therefore increase the cultural knowledge and expanding the horizons that we knew of.
The experience of doing a bachelor program o at Nova SBE is hard to describe in a few lines, but the combination of challenging courses and a vast number of student clubs and initiatives to develop skills, work perfectly as a bridge between student life and the real world.
View moreThe best thing about nova is the community around the student. Every person is very nice and will give you a hand and every professor is open to help with questions we have. Another thing that very good is the kinds of infrastructure that the university has. Now one thing that should be carful is that is very hard and demanding, should always be studying and carful with classes, is you stop one/two weeks you could loose the semetre very easily
View morePerfect campus by the see with everything one might need (study rooms, Pingo Doce supermarket, Fnac, etc)
Interactive (and demanding) classes and professores that care about you and your progression. Lots of group projects, which help you to stay connected to the topic throughout the semester
