University of Huddersfield, United Kingdom

Course Overview

Money makes the world go round, and Economics helps you understand how it all works. It's a fascinating subject that considers a wide variety of factors, and it could lead to an exciting career in all industries, in the private or public sector. Economics is the science of decision-making. It's vital when changes in the price level of goods or services or changes in interest rates affect how decisions are made. That's why economists study how people, households, firms, and governments allocate scarce resources to meet the population's needs. By studying Economics, youll have the chance to understand global problems such as widespread poverty and inequality, high unemployment, and rising pollution. You might also be able to tease out some of the solutions too.
