Overview

Please note - this is a school college partnership course for school students in S4-S6.

Economics relates to every aspect of our lives, from the decisions we make as individuals or families to the structures created by governments and businesses. 

By studying Economics you’ll understand and make use of economic information. You’ll learn to analyse, interpret, predict and explain the actions of individuals, businesses and governments in various economic situations. You will develop an appreciation of how markets and governments work and how the decisions taken in these economic contexts impact our daily lives. 

Economics is a useful subject for many students, particularly if you are interested in a career in business or finance, central or local government.
