The economy is the backbone to our society and its importance has been ever more apparent in recent years. If you have ever wondered why food prices increase when oil prices rise or why some jobs pay so much more than others or why the Government is involved in particular parts of the economy then this subject is one that will interest you. During the course you will gain an informed opinion as to why certain things happen in our economy and how these things can have an impact on everyone in the UK. We will learn about the economic issues of the day, investigate why we have a national debt, consider the problem of unemployment and how it might be reduced. We will look at topical issues such as the “house price bubble” and interest rates. By the end of the course you should be well informed about our economy and global issues in other parts of the world. By the end of the course students should feel more informed and confident about understanding our world from an economic perspective. In Economics you will learn by reading, discussing and writing about the issues we study. The proximity to the many financial and economic institutions in the capital will provide us with an excellent opportunity to visit and see how the heart of the economy works. So if you have wondered what goes on in the Bank of England, the importance of Government in the economy and how Britain fits into the global economy, this subject is the one for you.
