Course Summary
Course Overview
Economics is the study of how society allocates it scarce resources between competing uses.
Economics is a useful subject to support further study in a variety of areas, e.g. journalism and law, but is also a key element of subjects such as marketing, finance, accounting and insurance. Of course, the subject remains a key area of knowledge and understanding for all future citizens, consumers and producers.
Economics is a lively subject; study usually involves opportunities to participate in visits to conferences, visits to the City of London, competitions, individual and group presentations and access to the local business community.
Frequently studied alongside Mathematics, Geography and English, but increasingly with a wide spread of other subjects. Economics is becoming an essential element of study in a variety of HE courses from Law to Engineering, including of course Business/Management.
