Economics

Course summary

If you have a genuine interest in local and global affairs, you’ll enjoy reading about current events, applying theory to the real world and discovering why some countries are more successful than others. You’ll learn about markets, examine the factors that influence supply and demand, discover what leads to market failure and study why unemployment, pollution and poverty occur. You’ll also study the national and international economies in a global context, so an appreciation of global news events and stories is an advantage.
