Course summary

At the end of the course, you will be able to understand what determines the demand for, supply of, and price of a variety of products and services. You will also study the objectives of the government, the causes and effects of globalisation and how economies develop. Economics enables you to answer big news topics such as: ‘Why didn’t economists predict the Global Financial Crisis?’, ‘Why do some economies grow and others don’t?’, ‘Will the Eurozone survive?’ and ‘what impact will BREXIT have on the UK economy?’ If these issues intrigue you, then Economics will provide you with a way of analysing and questioning the assumptions behind them.
