Economics with Foundation Year

About this course

Economics is the social science concerned with how societies allocate scarce resources, how markets and institutions coordinate economic activity, and how the choices of individuals, firms, and governments produce aggregate outcomes in income, employment, growth, and welfare. It is a discipline that combines mathematical rigour with a concern for some of the most important questions facing contemporary societies: how to reduce poverty, what causes financial crises, how trade shapes development, and what role public policy can play in addressing market failures and inequality.

The foundation year provides a supported entry for students who need
