Economics (Honours)
A rigorous undergraduate economics track — strongest when paired with empirical projects and clear writing.
Where this leads
The confusion, addressed honestly
Eco Hons cohorts often over-index on master's entrance and under-index on communication of results. Research associate and analyst hiring wants a paper-like note you can defend. If your only plan is "clear DSE/ISI," build a backup artifact anyway — a replication, survey analysis, or policy brief. Rigour without translation stays academic. Campus drives still reward clear ownership stories over buzzword lists. Bring one artifact — sheet, deck, ticket trail, or project note — you can defend in depth.
