Explore modern and traditional economics and their application to organisations, as you learn about financial markets and economic theory. Look at how economists think, analyse, and solve problems.

Discover how to predict personal finances, organisational and national budgets. You'll also discover how every decision matters, from political problems to business operations and our lifestyle choices.

As you work on solving problems and thinking critically, improve your quantitative and data analysis skills. Practise how to explain your findings and conclusions clearly, which is an important skill to have in business.
