Academic Skills

Content

Please note that this is not a regular 'course' as you have done the skills training and practice during the EBE courses. For this 'course' you only have to deliver a reflection report on your skills development.

The reflection report should be uploaded ultimately by the 7th of October 2025 (in case you take the Applied Economics Course in period 2) or at the 3rd of February 2026 (in case you take the Applied Economics Course in period 4). Make sure you don’t miss this deadline at the start of period 3.

Professional economists have to combine their knowledge of economics and the professional skills to apply this knowledge. During your bachelor studies at U.S.E. you will experience that all courses provide a combination of both elements. The skills we teach are:

• Analytical skills
• Academic reasoning
• Information processing
• Academic research
• Professional skills (communication and social responsibility)
