What the college says

Economics is designed to foster analytical thinking, research skills, and an awareness of contemporary economic challenges. It offers a solid foundation for further studies in economics, business, and related fields, as well as providing valuable insights for students interested in understanding the complex economic forces that shape our world today. We cover the two broad strands of economic theory; microeconomics and macroeconomics, allowing students to explore the intricate workings of markets, government policies, and the global economy. Throughout the course, students will learn to critically assess economic data, develop problem-solving skills, and gain a holistic understanding of economic concepts.
