Economics

Course summary

How will Brexit affect the UK and the World? Why do footballers earn so much more than nurses? Is it time to end the ‘Throw Away’ society? Economics is different from almost everything you will have studied before. It brings together a whole range of different skills – writing essays, analysing numerical data, interpreting articles and evaluating ideas. Economics combines very well with almost all other subjects, ranging from Mathematics and Physics to History and Geography where there are a range of issues in common. If you are interested in the reasons for and the effects of the recent upheavals in the world economy, then this is the subject for you.
