What the college says

Economics is essential to our understanding of the world in which we live and work. It develops greater insight into current economic issues, problems and institutions that affect our everyday lives. Economics is fundamentally about choice, in relation to individuals, households, firms and governments. It analyses how scarce resources are allocated at both micro and macro-economic levels and the impact these choices have on individual behaviour as well as economic performance. It is a subject that develops an enquiring, critical and thoughtful mind, preparing young people to participate in a twenty first century global economy.
