Economics is concerned with how people behave in the ordinary business of their lives, and how they make decisions about employment and purchases both as employers and employees. It is not necessary for students to have any prior knowledge of either Economics or Business before starting the course. The course is equally suited to those who wish to study Economics or related subjects at University, and provides a worthwhile foundation in the subject for those with other higher education interests.
Economics will also be of interest to those students interested in analysis in a wide range of topical issues in current affars, ranging from unemployment, inflation and globalisation to the problems of less developed countries and European integration.
The course is very much designed to give students an economic understanding of real world events and current affairs.
