Courses use case studies and examples from around the world and, in many courses, students are able to choose a case study for their assessments.The economics curriculum covers three key elements of economics: 1. economic theory (microeconomics and macroeconomics)2. quantitative study (mathematics, statistics, econometrics)3. specialist contextual study (for example, economic history, finance, and political economy)Economics students develop a wide range of skills. They become disciplined thinkers and problem-solvers, competent in both quantitative and qualitative analysis, and highly equipped in the inquiry of how societies might develop and progress their material and psychological well-being, as well as being analysers of human behaviour.
