1. Economics is present in almost every aspect of our lives so studying the subject gives students a generalist understanding of the world and its workings, as the subject frames most, if not all, of the choices that individuals, firms and governments have to make. 2. Economics builds the knowledge and skills needed to understand and analyse data, think critically about issues and make informed judgements. It also makes it easier to see how theory has real-life applications so the study of Economics equips pupils for life in the real world. In addition, all our lives are influenced by broad economic trends such as economic growth, inflation and unemployment. 3. Economics complements many other subjects well (social sciences, humanities, languages and mathematics) and many universities offer dual honours degrees so students can combine their Economics degree with another interest. 4. Economics provides excellent graduate employment prospects and a well-established graduate salary premium.
