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.

    Best Business School for success

    I have been at Brunel since September and I am beyond pleased with my experience. My timetable allows for a ultimate student-life balance with me only being in at most 3 days a week and no more than 1 full day.

    In the short time I have been there I have been offered countless opportunities to expand my CV with internships, work experience opportunities seminars and workshops.

    In terms of academics, all lectures are recorded and uploaded online and the lectures will go out of their way to make sure you understand the course material and can succeeded. The lectures even attended on strike days to ensure that students didn’t fall behind.

    There are a multitude of extra curricular activities from culture to sports to partake in and weekly events to get involved in.

    Overall a brilliant uni and somewhere you will be happy and thrive!

    Good study opportunities

    Great international module leaders/lecturers with an on-field experience. Campus offers great choices of resting and study places, studying materials but also different food places.
    Great sports community/ proposition as well

    There is a lack of investments from some students which can have, and most of the time has, an effect on others work. Though this is a personal issue, there are no academic ways of avoiding them. e.g pre-made groups with members not being able to split up if work investment is bad on one side.
    For commuting students, timetables are too split up using the week, making them travel 3hours in total for an one hour seminar only.
