During my O levels my interest towards economics was very minimal. However, during A levels my interest started to veer towards the subject as I started to understand the importance of it. Scoring high on economics was a challenge since it was comparatively different from other subjects I was studying. Despite this, my interest towards this made me want to start a career in economics and to start this programme. At the time I finished my A levels, there was a dearth of courses related to economics in the Maldives. After a year, Villa College introduced a program related to economics that interested me. I am happy to be in the first Educational Institute to introduce a programme which is related to economics.

While undertaking the programme I learned about the changing faces of the economy globally while I learned about the history and culture of different economies. Other than this, I came to know more about economic theories and policies.

Another interesting fact about doing this programme is that it doesn’t just limit itself to economics, it touches upon on the aspects of business management. This gives me the ambit to choose any field related to economics or management in future. This programme helped me to develop myself in these areas and it also has given me the courage to speak publicly. Furthermore, I have learned a lot about how to conduct research and hone up my writing skills.

I hope that Villa College will introduce a post graduate program in economics in the near future, which will open doors to those seeking growth in this field.

I applied to Villa College in the hopes of studying for a brighter future. I had really high hopes and expectations from this college. Fortunately, those were answered with the college’s high-quality teaching and studies. The student portal made especially for the students was a great asset in helping me study for my exams really well, not to mention the beautiful environment within the campus that lets us relax and study outdoors with no problems at all and also enjoy the weather at the same time. I am really glad that I applied to this college to study.
