Economics

Course summary

Economics is the study of the science of human behaviour, in relation to the real choices that people make in the world around them. In this course students will learn about the way in which individuals and organisations choose to use their scarce resources, the role of markets for goods and services and how governments intervene to influence behaviour. The course encourages students to consider current political and economic events and to analyse their impact. It enables students to develop a critical approach, through rational and logical argument of both sides of a case.
