Course summary

What will I Study? Mircroeconomics The operation of markets and market failure: Students will be required to acquire knowledge and understanding of a selection of microeconomic models and to apply these to current problems and issues. Microeconomic models such as demand and supply, the operation of the price mechanism and causes of market failure are central to this part. Macroeconomics Students learn microeconomic principles that underpin the behaviour of the macroeconomy. Understanding some aspects of macroeconomic behaviour requires that students have a firm grasp of related microeconomic principles, for example, understanding of price elasticity of demand is essential when analysing the extent to which a fall in the exchange rate will lead to an increase in exports.
