Undergraduate inEconomics

The Degree in Economics at ISEG combines, in a unique way, three essential aspects for the formation of an economist:

  • Solid training in economic theory;
  • Great interdisciplinarity with complementary areas of economics (management, mathematics, law, sociology and history);
  • Domain of instruments for analysis of economic reality.

The combination of these aspects, added to the possibility for students to choose optional subjects to deepen areas of their personal interest, means that the Degree in Economics at ISEG has a high standard of quality, widely recognized by the market, where our graduates easily find employment in private or state organizations.

With this degree you will learn:

Making forecasts and studies on the evolution of the main economic indicators

How the economy of your country and the world works

How you can contribute to a more sustainable economy in the future

What do you want to specialize in in the future (if you don't already know...)

The bases for being able to one day become governor of a central bank? Economy minister? or finances? Who knows…

Teaching at ISEG is not limited to passing on information, it teaches us how to receive information: receive it, question it and apply it. So far, it has provided me with good experiences, opportunities to participate in projects and teams, and introduced me to people who have gone from strangers to teammates and lifelong friends. Deep down, Economics at ISEG is precisely what I wanted for my career. On the one hand, it will enrich me academically, with knowledge and learning, and on the other hand, it will bring me personal growth and development, preparing me for what happens after the certificate.
Cristiano Mota Duarte
Joining ISEG has always been a great personal goal. Despite having entered the second phase and during the pandemic, which made our experience as first-year students a little different than expected, my testimony is quite positive. Thanks to the effort on the part of ISEG and a spirit of mutual help and unity that is felt in the Isegu community, we were able to have a sample of what a semester free of COVID-19 would be like. I am aware that I couldn't be happier with my choice, I know that at ISEG I will experience remarkable moments and that this stage will be very enriching on a personal and professional level.
