Career Outcomes
CUNEF Universidad Bachelor in Economics prepares students to meet the challenges of the “new digital economy” and figure out what field of Economics they want to focus on professionally: the legal and international aspects, or rather the technological aspects, where managing huge volumes of data has become crucial.
In terms of career prospects, there is a wide range of options for recent graduates: taxation, analysis and planning services, public administration, international organisations, foreign trade, business management, economic consulting, teaching and research. There is a broad spectrum of career opportunities, including the private sector (companies, banks, consulting firms), the public sector (government agencies), and international institutions (OECD, IMF, World Bank, European Commission, etc.).
Economics graduates find their first job within 3.6 months after graduation (well below the general average), and studies show that, on a national level, 44% of them actually get a job before graduation.
