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.

    As an experience it has been good, because there is a very good atmosphere and it is pleasant in general. However, assessing the quality of the center, I am not very in agreement with the selection of subjects for the Degree in Economics, although I do believe that it has some very good teachers (as teachers and researchers), also with some who leave much be desired.
    If you try hard you can learn a lot and enter a good master’s degree, and you will have a career without having learned much.
    Complementary university activities, such as courses of various types and conferences, are not widely publicized or encouraged, there are some, but sometimes they do not have enough people. In addition, if you do not have your own vehicle, it can sometimes be a torture to get to the campus, due to the slowness and fullness of the buses (vitrasa) at certain times.
    I think they can improve on many issues but it is quite good, the facilities are adequate, the bad of the distance with respect to the city is compensated by the garden areas and the views, and the people are excellent.
