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.

    Opinion about UTAD

    Utah is a university with a very welcoming atmosphere. Its outdoor space conveys peace even on the busiest days and, in terms of its interior space, it is also a very well-equipped university.
    Teachers are always willing to help which is undoubtedly an added value.

    Green Spaces, not the best programmes

    The university location is the best. The students have a great area to inspire themselves. The Teachers are very close with the students. The programme, compared with other universities, isn’t the best, however you can learn a lot of things that would be useful for your future.

    UTAD evaluation

    UTAD is a highly regarded university! With a very green space and a magnificent landscape, which reassures us a lot!
    The teachers care a lot about us, and the students themselves have a very welcoming environment and easily integrate anyone.
    As a positive point, I still have to add the dimension of UTAD, it is very large!
    Even so, there are negative points such as the fact that the road, which is not in the best condition, has many bumps! And the fact that personally my course, degree in management, does not have an integrated internship, which would help us a lot!
    I still don’t regret my choice!!

    My experience at UTAD

    Starting by talking about the study plan, I think the plan is very well structured and complete, however I miss a more practical experience included in the degree, such as an internship. This university offers internships in most of its courses, but not in Management.
    The teachers are very close to the students, for them we are more than a number, as they are concerned with us and our future, always trying to give us the best education.
    All structures, whether classrooms or libraries, are very pleasant. Overall I recommend this university.
