Economics is a fascinating and challenging subject that is critical to the modern world. Economics relates to every aspect of our lives, from the choices we make as individuals and families to the decisions made by governments and businesses. An understanding of Economics is essential for thinking about many of the issues confronting society today, such as unemployment, taxation, globalisation, inequality and pollution. It requires you to think deeply about the way the modern world functions and why.
 
We place a strong emphasis on both mastery of the skills required to become an ‘economic thinker’ and on the policy aspects of everything we teach. As a student of Economics at Maynooth you will learn to think clearly, to analyse issues in-depth, and to argue logically. You will also gain numeracy, writing and presentation skills. Our graduates have excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, both of which are in demand from employers.
 
We also offer the opportunity to study three Arts subjects to degree level - Philosophy, Politics and Economics. This 2nd and final year pathway is ideal for students who wish to gain a rich, empirically-based understanding of the challenges posed by globalisation and a globalised economy, political volatility and democracy.
