What the college says

Economic forces have a major influence on the personal and working lives of us all. Governments are preoccupied with economic affairs and businesses are affected by the Economic environment. Economics is an applied subject and theory will be taught in the context of developments in the UK economy and will include the UK's relationship with Europe and the rest of the world. Students will be introduced to a range of current economic issues. These include consideration of important questions such as: What will happen to the economy post Brexit? What are the consequences of privatisation? Why does the Bank of England alter interest rates? How can government policy help the environment? Why does the Government provide Education and Health Services? These and many other real life issues will be considered during the course.
