Aimed at those with a genuine interest in the application of economics to real-world situations, this course aims to provide you with an in-depth knowledge of the latest theories, practices and key concepts in economics that underpin public sector policy and business decision-making. This includes the various scenarios where we explore opportunity cost, equilibrium and disequilibrium, strategic interaction, market failure and the related concept of externalities.

Some people may choose to study policy because they are interested in becoming involved in government. Policy courses offer insight into how laws are made, their impact on society, and how they affect individual lives. Many policy degrees may also include courses on how to write policy. These can be useful for people who want to work in government or make laws themselves.
