Economics - AL

UPDATED 20160802 09:00:46

A wide-ranging subject which touches on every aspect of commercial life, Economics examines how an economy works and how individuals and organisations make decisions that impact upon the world in which we live and work. This course will broaden your understanding of government policy-making and the global environment. It will encourage you to evaluate some of the consequences of the choices made by businesses and governments. The course offers up-to-date economic theory and rigorous yet engaging content. It covers four main themes over the two years including: • An introduction to markets and market failure. • The UK economy - performance and policies. • Business behaviour and the labour market. • A global perspective. Economics is scientific in its investigative nature and requires good logical and analytical skills, together with the ability to produce convincing written and verbal arguments and conclusions. You will study the theories which try to explain economic behaviour, but will be free to weigh up the alternative arguments and draw your own conclusions.
