What the college says

Economics students will look at the fundamental forces, which affect our lives, such as employment, prices, international trade and poverty. Economists often engage in healthy debate over these issues. It is this controversy which makes Economics lively and interesting and which allows you the opportunity to make your own judgements and form your own opinions. In Year one you will focus on both Microeconomics and Macroeconomics. Microeconomics address issues such as: “Why are house prices so far?” “Can pollution effectively be controlled?” and “Should government interfere with markets?” The macroeconomic issues covered include: “Why does the government have an inflation rate target and how does it affect us?” “What happens to the economy if people decide to spend more?” and “How are we affected by the Chinese and Indian economies?” In Year two you will build on your micro and macro knowledge and study another two key topics. First, “The Global Context” includes the impact of globalisation on UK economics performance. Second “The European Union Context” includes the effects of Brexit and economic policies of UK economy. The summary of components is as follows: • Individuals, Firms Markets and Market Failure • Economic Principles and Issues • National and International Economy
