Studying Economics: My Journey from BSc to MSc

 I always wanted to understand how the world works. Why prices change. How markets grow. What affects people’s decisions about money and spending. That’s what made me choose BSc Economics.

I didn’t come from a finance background, but I was curious. I liked numbers, and I enjoyed asking questions. Economics seemed like the right path. It connects maths, people, business, and policy in a simple way.

At first, I didn’t know what to expect. But during the course, I learnt how supply and demand affect prices. I understood why governments set interest rates. I explored how inflation affects daily life. The course was more than just theory. It helped me see the real picture.

Why I Liked the BSc Course

• It covered a wide range of subjects

• The teachers explained concepts in an easy way

• I learnt to think clearly and logically

• Group discussions helped me improve confidence

 

One of the best things about BSc Economics is that it opens up many paths. Some of my classmates went into jobs in banking and finance. Others chose research or joined start-ups. I was more interested in learning further. That’s when I looked at MSc Economics.

The master’s course is more detailed. It builds on everything you learn during your bachelor’s degree. The subjects are deeper, but the way they are taught makes it easier to follow.

At the Symbiosis School of Economics (SSE), we are encouraged to think for ourselves. The teachers support new ideas and guide us when we get stuck. The environment is friendly and full of energy.

My MSc Experience So Far

• We study advanced topics like econometrics and development

• There are projects that connect theory with real-world issues

• We get to attend talks by experts from industry and government

• The course encourages research and team work

One thing I noticed at SSE is that learning doesn’t stop in the classroom. We are always doing something new. There are seminars, guest lectures, and events where we meet people from different fields. This makes learning more interesting and practical.

The report says that jobs in economics and data are growing fast. Many companies now want people who understand markets and data. Government bodies and research centres also hire people with economics training. This makes both BSc Economics and MSc Economics good choices for students who enjoy learning and thinking.

At SSE, we don’t just study to pass exams. We learn how to think, how to ask the right questions, and how to look at things from different angles. The courses are well planned, and the support from teachers is always there.

Final Thoughts

Choosing economics was a smart decision for me. I started with BSc Economics, and now I’m doing my MSc Economics at SSE. The journey has been full of learning and self-growth. If you’re curious about the world and want to make sense of it, economics is a good place to begin.
