Introduction to Economics provides a comprehensive foundation in both microeconomics and macroeconomics. Students study how markets operate, how firms and consumers make decisions and how government policies address market failures, alongside the analysis of economic growth, unemployment, inflation and financial systems. The module applies economic theory to real-world issues including inequality, international trade, economic instability and sustainability. By the end of the module, students will be able to analyse economic problems using core economic models and interpret economic data and policy debates.
