ECONOMICS

Economics is the social science that studies the choices that individuals, business, governments, and entire societies make as they cope with scarcity and the incentives that influence and reconcile those choices. 

Economics divides in two mains parts: 

• Microeconomics

• Macroeconomics

The aims of the Economics curriculum are to enable students to

• develop an interest in exploring human behaviour and social issues through an economic perspective; 

• understand the world in which they live through mastery of basic economic knowledge; 

• enhance their general intellectual capacity for life-long learning, through developing their capacities in economic analysis, so that they possess the skills necessary for reasoning about issues and making rational choices; and

• participate as informed and responsible citizens in the decision-making processes of a modern democratic society.

Students can join a variety of curricular activities to widen their business horizons and facilitate their all-round development. The Entrepreneurship Programme enables students to develop their entrepreneurial mindset, the

Personal Finance Planning Competition enriches students’ personal financial knowledge. The Mainland Exchange Program allows students to understand more about the economics development in China.
