In this course, you’ll examine the challenges facing individuals, countries and the international community.
You will develop an understanding of government and society through core concepts such as power, justice, order, conflict, legitimacy, accountability, obligation, sovereignty and decision making. You will develop strong numeracy skills in statistics and information technology. You will explore the institutional, UK and global context within which economic decisions and policy formation takes place.
In your first year, you will gain a secure base in microeconomic and macroeconomic theory.
