“My 2nd and 3rd years of my Herts Economics course is where I really began to love the subject - and there were some great lecturers who covered fascinating topics. I thoroughly enjoyed expanding my knowledge into Microeconomics, as well as delving into relatively new concepts such as Game Theory and Econometrics” (Henry Finbow, 2017).
