You will gain greater knowledge of the economic problems that are faced by individuals, companies and the government and look at the way these problems can be tackled. You will also gain exposure to ‘practical’ experiences throughout the course, implementing theory in the real world, with an emphasis on personal and business finance. Economics benefits from sitting within the field of social science, leading to opinions and debates, as well as implementing scientific and measurable methods.
