Economics is the study of how people make decisions in their everyday world. Students study how individuals make rational decisions on what to buy and where to go and how organisations make decisions as to what to produce. These economic tools are used to explain the problems that we see in the daily news, and help us understand subjects, such as, why football players are paid so much, and how we can help the world’s poorer nations. Studying Economics will help students develop a range of applied skills that employers look for including, quantitative skills, the ability to analyse data, make reasoned evaluations from data and apply concepts to real life situations.
