What the college says

The new Economics course deals with the choices that people, firms and countries make and the impact of these decisions, with specific focus on how decisions can be made so the lives of all can be improved. It is from this simple basis that all of the economic problems in the world around us arise and hence leads to questions that need to be answered, such as: Is inflation bad? What was the cause of the creditcrunch? Would a reduction in house prices be good for the UK? Are workers in the third world exploited? The aim of the course is to help students understand the issues that need to be addressed when such questions are raised and apply the relevant economic theories and models to arrive at possible solutions.
