You will develop the skills, qualities and attitudes which will equip you for the challenges, opportunities and responsibilities of adult and working life.
Economics is the study of the economy. It explores both microeconomics, which looks at the workings of individual markets and the choices that individuals, businesses, and nations make in response to limited resources and challenges.
Economics is the study of economic systems relating to the behaviour of individuals, organisations and governments in both national and international contexts, in the pursuit of wealth and financial well-being.
Much time will be spent applying economic concepts. There is regular homework to check understanding. The course will also develop numeracy and communication skills.
