What will I study? First year unit 1: Operation of markets and market failure An introduction to the nature of economics, which examines the reasons why individuals, organisations and societies have to make choices. It looks at competitive markets and how they work, market failure and the ways in which governments may intervene in markets, in order to correct failure. First year unit 2: The national economy in a global context Introduces the key measures of economic performance and the main objectives and instruments of economic policy. You will be able to use a basic aggregate demand/aggregate supply model to understand why demand and/or supply side policies may be seen as appropriate ways of managing an economy; predict the possible impact of such policies and recognise the assumptions involved. Second year unit 3: Economic principles and issues This unit builds upon units 1 and 2 and assesses students' understanding synoptically.
