This course aims to enable students to develop an interest in, and enthusiasm for, the subject through an appreciation of the contribution that economics makes to the wider economic and social environment. Students will develop an understanding of a range of concepts and an ability to use those concepts in a variety of different contexts. Through this they will develop analytical and quantitative skills, together with qualities and attitudes that will equip them for the challenges, opportunities and responsibilities of adult and working life. Economics requires an enquiring, critical and thoughtful approach and will aim to challenge students from a number of perspectives. Further study of this subject can be undertaken with courses in Finance, Business Management or Social Policy. Economics can lead to careers such as Economist, Financial Risk Analyst, Actuary or Civil Servant.
