What the college says

The Economics course aims to equip students with the ability to make sense of many contemporary business and economic issues. Students will look at fundamental economic principles and explore the effects on businesses, consumers and government. The course has a strong focus on the changing world economy and the impact of the growing economic power of China and India. It aims to develop in students an enquiring, critical and thoughtful approach, developing skills of application, analysis and evaluation. It is the high degree of relevance and, at times, the controversy which makes the subject such a lively and interesting one to study.
