Why study economics
Economics is about how people, businesses and governments make choices with limited resources. Programmes of this kind usually cover microeconomics, macroeconomics, statistics and mathematical methods, and apply them to real-world issues like inflation, unemployment, trade and development. You learn to think analytically about problems and to use data to test ideas, which are skills that are valuable in many kinds of work.
What economics graduates do
Most graduates go into roles that involve analysing data, understanding markets, or shaping policy. Common fields include banking and finance, government economic planning, market research, business consulting, and international organisations. Many graduates also continue to postgraduate study in economics, finance, or public policy.
How hard it is to get a place
Entry to this programme at Methodist University is less competitive than at some other Ghanaian universities offering economics. For example, the same programme at KNUST and the University of Cape Coast is highly competitive. That means your WASSCE grades do not need to be as high as they would for those institutions, but you should still check that you meet the general entry requirements for degree programmes at Methodist University.
