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.

    A total change

    I started studying in another University, but after a few years I realised that that degree wasn’t for me, so I came to Málaga to start marketing and market investigation. With that decision everything changed, because there I found the university degree for the job I always wanted. I have a year and a half left to finish my degree but changing has been the best thing I have done.

    Hands-on university

    I did Erasmus in this university for 6 months and it was a great professional experience really different from my local university. I studied Marketing and in this university, I was able to apply the concepts to real contexts.
    Besides all the theory, I was able to get hands dirty trying to apply the concepts almost every week in practices with real companies. The methodology was really nice: one week of theory and one of practice, simultaneously. I totally recommend this university for Marketing.

    Opinion about the degree of Marketing and Business Management at this uni

    My degree was really new so it still has to develop. Some professors weren’t updated with the material, so just a few subjects from the entire degree are actually useful for a marketing career.

    On the one hand we counted on some international teachers and also professors that work in companies that were really useful and shared some knowledge about the real work outside. This, in my opinion, has to be reinforced because what the students learn is useful for the “real world” outside university.

    On the other hand, the project Erasmus was more developed than the actual degree, so there were many destinations available for this degree. However the tutors should be more informed and interested about their students’ university life.

    To sum up, the university should be more involved and sure about the places where their students are recommended to do their internships, because some of these places don’t really show or teach anything related with the degree and they just take advantage of students that work for free.
