Course programme
Economics is about choice and the impact of our choices on each other. It relates to every aspect of our lives, from the decisions we make as individuals or families to the structures created by governments and firms. An economic way of thinking can help you make better choices. In Theme 1 and Theme 2 students will be introduced to the nature of economics, how markets work and why they fail. Students will also consider the role of government and the UK economy. In Theme 3 and Theme 4 students will explore how businesses grow and compete, the labour market and how the government intervenes to make markets work better. Students will also explore international trade, inequality within and between countries, emerging and developing economies, and the public finances. Students will also have an opportunity to consider the role and impact of the financial sector.
