Economics as a social science studies the production, exchange, distribution and consumption of goods and services. Economics studies a complex and exciting reality, in which numerous agents interact. For this reason, it is interdisciplinary in nature, and its models include theories related to History, Law, Management, Business, etc.
The Bachelor's Degree in Economics aims to train professionals capable of analysing, understanding and acting on the complex economic reality, at a local, national or international level. The syllabus places special emphasis on knowledge of the economic reality and the instruments to act on it, on the logic of individual and collective economic behaviour, and also on the mastery of mathematical-statistical tools for the preparation of diagnostic studies.
In the fourth year, you will also be able to have direct contact with companies and organisations in which you will later develop your professional career through voluntary external internships.
