Why choose ISEG?

Because the Degree in Economics brings together in a single course the three essential aspects for studying to be an economist:

  • A solid grounding in economic theory;
  • The study of a large number of interdisciplinary subjects that compliment Economics (Management, Mathematics, Law, Sociology and History);
  • The mastery of methods for the analysis of the real-life economic scene.

 

The combination of these aspects of study, together with the possibility for students to choose optional subjects to increase their knowledge in areas of their choice, results in the ISEG degree in Economics having a high standard of quality, which is well recognised in the market, where our graduates easily find employment, be it with private or State organisations.
