ECONOMICS

Economics is a social science which informs challenges faced by our societies today. These challenges include inequality, environmental sustainability, and economic policy. Economics helps to understand how and why people make choices about what to buy and sell, and how these decisions can impact everyone. It can help make sense of why people have more money than others and why different things cost what they do. 

An economics degree will cover things such as macroeconomics, microeconomics, econometrics, principles of economics, economic policies and their impacts, game theory, and behavioural economics to name a few.
