Course summary

Economics will suit students who are interested in the reasons that individuals, firms and governments make the decisions they do. In particular you will learn about how these economic agents make their choices in the face of significant scarcity – of resources, of time and of adequate information. You will be adept at manipulating and handling data but primarily you will want to be able to put together well-structured, compelling written arguments to support a case that you are making. If you choose this course you would benefit from: - Experienced teachers who will give you the highest quality learning experiences - A significant degree of challenge. Only sign up if you are committed to, and will actually relish, a serious independent workload - A combination of theoretical work – sometimes somewhat challenging to grasp initially – and a highly practical analysis of real-world economic issues
