Specialist Diploma in Economic Information
A unique programme compatible with professional activity and ideal for acquiring skills in economic journalism.
Nebrija University together with Formación e Información Económica (FIE), and with the support of the Association of Economic Information Journalists (APIE), present this unique programme compatible with professional activity and ideal for acquiring skills in economic journalism.
The course is aimed at students with a university degree and, preferably, graduates in Information Science who already have a professional practice
Given the complexity of economic information today, the Diploma of Specialisation in Economic Information offers university graduates the training that qualifies them as experts, providing them with the specific skills to analyse and comment on documents and reports with economic content, familiarising them at the same time with the relevant sources and statistics, through the use of new technologies applied to the field of economic information, batteries of indicators and reference works.
In our times, economic information is not only growing in importance but also in complexity; and its social transcendence is expanding at the same time as the training requirements for its appropriate treatment are increasing. Social interest and academic reasons, in short, are intertwined when it comes to assessing economic information.
The Spanish economy in the framework of the European Union: trends and characteristic features
Starting with an introduction to the basic concepts of macroeconomics and microeconomics, as well as the main currents of economic thought, the programme systematically addresses the situation and prospects of the Spanish economy within the framework of the European Union. To this end, the sectoral (energy sector and financial sector...) and institutional (labour market, public sector, foreign sector...) areas of greatest importance and transcendence for the whole are selected.
Companies: structure and internationalisation; legal, commercial, financial and accounting analysis.
The company and the business fabric as a whole are the subject of a fundamental part of professional economic information. For this reason, almost a third of the programme deals with the study of its main components, both from the perspective of economic theory and from the perspective of legal-commercial analysis and accounting and financial analysis, paying special attention to current trends (internationalisation, mergers and acquisitions, new business models) and to the values and practices that legitimise the business function and the role of the entrepreneur in an open society.
Economic information: theoretical bases, documentary and statistical sources, and technological supports.
The importance and complexity of economic information in today's world increase the educational and instrumental requirements of those who deal with it professionally. For this reason, in addition to the theoretical and conceptual basis, the programme studies the sources of economic information - documentary, statistical, literary - as well as the techniques of journalistic writing, without forgetting the ethical requirements of good practice in economic journalism.

Specialisation is the key to differentiation. "The economy is always an important area of our lives, but these days it is vitally important, which is why it is essential to provide rigorous and truthful information. This course has the faculty and curriculum to help journalists acquire or improve the skills that will enable them to do their jobs as effectively as possible. I would particularly highlight the personalised attention of the teachers and their dedication to the student. It was a great success".
