What the college says

Economics is a social science primarily concerned with the behaviour and relationships of people and societies. Many of the problems which dominate our newspaper headlines are economic problems. The study of Economics will enable students to use and interpret data to analyse economic problems and discuss alternative courses of action. Economics is therefore a highly regarded academic field of study that helps students develop an awareness and understanding of the economic forces that shape all our lives.
