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.

    Bachelor of Arts International Relations - University of Lisbon

    International Relation, in general, is a really wide course but gives me the opportunity to see and learn different subjects during the 3 years of studies, if you are into theories, politics, economics and language this is indeed a perfect match for you but if you’re looking for practice isn’t that good, we only get the opportunity to do a curricular internship in the last year, during the last semester, until then there’s a lot of people who doesn’t choose their career.

    The classes are incredible, they are going to help you to build your opinion about international issues and see the world from different aspects; as everyone knows, nothing is perfect, the aspect not so good about this course is the lack f studies related to different continent, the focus is mostly in the European continent.

    The best thing so far is that we are able to learn a bit about everything!

    It’s a good university

    However they can improve a lot of things, for example, the social integration for international students. There are a few activities in the small campus, I think we students need other activities different than only studies, as playing sports or dancing or cinema…

    ISEG

    ISEG is the economics and management campus of ULisboa. First of all, I would like to point out that ISEG’s perimeter is very pleasant, with lots of open spaces for people to enjoy outside and is very close to Estrela and Baixa Chiado which is nice if you want explore the city. The buildings are a combination of old and new but in very good conditions and fully equipped with all the materials needed.
    As ISEG isn’t too big, the students can enjoy a closer experience with other students and teachers. The bachelor degrees are very similar in the first year so you can enjoy the company of students of all degrees during that time. My experience is that the teachers are very high quality.

    ISEG

    Universidade de Lisboa is composed of a lot of universities, with different fields. My university inside the group is ISEG – Lisbon School of Economics and Management. The campus is an old convent converted into beautiful classrooms, and there is an addition of 2 extra new buildings. The location is premium and environment and culture is very embracing of all students. There are good professors, with excellent backgrounds. There is an environment of help between students and so, in general, going to study there is not only good in academic terms, but also regarding personal life and the ability to make friends.

    Lisbon School of Economics and Managment - ISEG

    I study Finance in ISEG, a university within the university of Lisbon (UL). I don’t regret my choice at all, I love ISEG and UL, it’s the most pleasurable place to be, some of my classes are with important people that talks about their experience and that’s super cool.
    ISEG has a lot of spaces to study and is 24h open, which is pretty good.
