Students graduating with a degree in Economics will be able to carry out professional work in both the public and private sectors, combining the theoretical and practical knowledge acquired. This knowledge will allow them to approach any problem with scientific rigour, applying all the instruments, skills and attitudes necessary.

Take testRequirements
New students should have a solid foundation in mathematics and be keen to broaden their knowledge of the mathematical concepts acquired in Bachiller or equivalent. Apart from this knowledge, students should be capable of abstract reasoning. They should be able to use logic in the development of simple models relating to the behaviour of economic agents (individuals, business and State) and the interaction between them. In addition, they should feel comfortable using instruments to analyse the economic reality in order to understand the hows and whys of economic phenomena. In this respect, sensitivity towards social issues will be of great help when studying these phenomena.
With regards to logical reasoning, the capacity to establish and describe relations between facts, identify causes and evaluate consequences is highly desirable. As for abstract reasoning, we also value highly the ability to separate causes from consequences and to extract the most relevant aspects when analysing a problem and its solution.
All this is enhanced if the student has an entrepreneurial spirit, a mind which is open to new ideas and concepts and a clear enthusiasm for learning and applying his or her knowledge.
