What the college says

Studying Economics gives you the tools to understand key global issues and trends. Topics include major concepts such as inflation, economic growth, inequality, unemployment, and recessions. The subject answers real-world questions like why is the exchange rate different at the end of your holiday compared to the start? Why does the Bank of England raise or lower interest rates? What causes a rise in the cost of living? How can government policies reduce poverty or respond to climate change? Economics enables you to look beyond headlines and understand the forces shaping the world we live in.
