why study Economy today?

Economics is one of the most strategic areas for the future of organizations, governments, and society. With technological advancements, globalization, and new business models, the role of the economist has evolved beyond simply analyzing graphs and numbers: today, it is crucial for guiding investments, public policies, and innovation strategies.

According to the International Labour Organization, by 2030, millions of jobs will require skills in quantitative analysis, financial evaluation, and evidence-based decision-making. Professionals with a background in applied economics and mastery of advanced tools will be the most sought after in the market.


Studying Economics prepares you to work in roles that directly impact society — from the financial market to the public sector, from policymaking to the creation of startups.
