Career Prospects for Economics Honours Graduate

Economics is a discipline which combines politics, sociology, psychology and history and seeks to explain what drives human behaviour, decisions and reactions when faced with challenges. A degree in Economics equips one with a high level of mathematical and statistical skills and the ability to apply economic principals and models to problems in business, finance and the government sector. Economic concepts can be applied to understand the logic of complicated data, to see how things relate to each other and to get a view of the broader context. Some of the specific skills that a graduate in Economics Honours develop include communication (presenting ideas in a well-defined framework and supported by evidence that uses complex data), numeracy (handling data using techniques of mathematical and statistical analysis), problem solving and analytical skills. Broadly speaking an Economics degree helps prepare the student for careers that require numerical, analytical and problem-solving skills. For this one needs to be able to master the methods used in the discipline and have good mathematical and statistical skills. Moreover one also needs to be interested in the world around – from history to politics, to international affairs and consumer psychology – as these all impact how individuals, companies and governments behave and make decisions.
