Economics
Course summary
Economics provides learners with a language that allows them to understand that every decision is an economic decision and that all decisions taken come with a consequence. Learners will be active economic citizens as they will be given the toolkit needed to explore how financial markets, individuals, the public and private sector are all striving to make the best decisions they can; given that there are infinite wants and finite resources. The knowledge they acquire will allow them to judge the economic choices made by themselves and by other economic agents.
