Course summary

Economics is the study of how societies answer the very important questions of what to produce, how to produce and for whom? In our Economics classes we will try to answer these questions and look at Economics from a global perspective. Our aim is to help students use an enquiring, critical and thoughtful approach to the study of Economics. We would also like students to develop an understanding of economic concepts and theories through critical consideration of current economic issues, problems and instructions that affect everyday life.

Entry requirements
