Why study Economics?
Economics is the study of the way we make choices in a world where resources are scarce. It affects every aspect of our lives and helps us understand the dilemmas faced by individuals, societies and governments when making decisions. The subject content explores Britain’s underlying strengths, problems and the issues of today, and makes comparisons with countries in Europe and the developing world. Theory is applied to current events and so is studied in a meaningful and topical fashion. Examples of topics covered are:
Course Overview
Theme 1: Introduction to markets and market failure
Theme 2: The UK economy – performance and policies
Theme 3: Business behaviour and the labour market
Theme 4: A global perspective
