Economics
The aim of the Economics curriculum is to develop students’ understanding of how the local, national and global economy works through analysing economic issues, problems and institutions that affect everyday life.
The curriculum will encourage our students to challenge the Classical hypotheses of rationality and perfect markets, and to consider the role of the institutions which seek to correct market failures.
Students will be challenged to consider the ethical principles and moral or ethical problems which so often arise when implementing public policy. The curriculum will make certain that students not only know about our world, but will also challenge them to consider how best to live in our world.
