Economics (BA) with Year in Industry

About this course

Economics is concerned with how individuals, organisations, and governments make decisions under conditions of scarcity, and with the consequences of those decisions for markets, societies, and the world economy.

SOAS's particular strength lies in its focus on Asia, Africa, and the Middle E
