Economics

Economics underpins the way the modern world works. It is the study of how resources are shared out in society. It is both a social science and business study and gives practical skills as well an understanding of the behaviour of money.

The study of economics covers everything from the workings of global finance to more personal matters of scarcity and choice. As a result, learners will develop key decision-making abilities.
