- This program provides a strong background in economics principles but also provides a knowledge and understanding of the recent developments in economics and the application of economic concepts to current issues. For example, a module on sustainability will be delivered jointly with staff from the Centre for International Development and Training.
- As part of the study of Economics, students will develop skills in the organization and analysis of statistical data, the interpretation of economic issues and the communication of economic ideas. These skills have been identified as being in demand by employers by a number of surveys, such as the one carried out by the Economics Network.
