Suggested profile for newly enrolled students

The new student should be good at abstract reasoning. He/she should feel at ease using logic to develop simple models on the behaviour of economic agents (individuals, companies and the State), and the interactions between them. He/she should also be comfortable using tools to analyse the economic reality to understand how and why economic phenomena occur. In this regard, a pronounced sensitivity to social issues is of great help when studying these phenomena.

Logical reasoning, the capacity to establish and describe relationships between facts, identifying the causes and assessing the consequences of the causes, are particularly valued. In terms of abstract reasoning, the ease of separating causes from consequences, and extracting the most relevant aspects when dealing with a problem and its solution, are also greatly appreciated. All this is enhanced if the newly-enrolled student has an entrepreneurial spirit, a mind open to new ideas and concepts, and an evident enthusiasm for learning and applying his/her knowledge.

Although prior knowledge in the area of social sciences and economics is valuable, it is not essential to access the degree programme, since the basic training offers a general training in these areas.
