Degree 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…

The Economics course taught by ISEG covers a wide range of subjects. The more practical component of the subjects taught complements the more theoretical and specific aspect of economic concepts and models, with a mathematical inclusion, explored in depth over the three years. In my third and final year, I feel that the job offers corroborate my decision that I made the right choice!
Marta Firmo
During the two years I spent studying economics at ISEG, I significantly developed my technical and critical skills. The diversity of content taught, covering areas such as macro and microeconomic models, mathematical foundations and different perspectives and views on society and the economy, combined with high-quality teaching from highly experienced professors, provides me with a theoretical and practical basis that is highly valued in the job market. I feel prepared, both personally and professionally, to face any challenge that arises, and so I believe I have made the right decision.
