Course summary

Course overview

The future will be shaped by educated economists who can look at problems, come up with workable answers, and adapt to our fast-paced, always-changing world, which is driven by big data and AI.

Every choice we make affects our lives and the world around us. Our highly regarded course examines the impact of these choices in detail.

Discover the information and ideas you need to use microeconomics and macroeconomics in a variety of business settings.

Learn to think like an economist, rationally, carefully, and analytically. Embrace the opportunity to apply your new skills in areas that really interest you, like the environment, protection, or technology.

Delve into economics, accounting, and management, and then use what you've learned to explore the challenges business leaders are dealing with today.

Explore a wide range of modern problems that people, groups, and governments face, and discuss possible solutions.

Conversations about the real-world effects of mainstream and non-mainstream economic ideas will make you think. Learn both the popular ideas and alternative ways of doing things.

Be empowered to think critically and independently, questioning established ideas and your own thought processes.

“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).
