This subject provides students with an introduction to economics. Students cover foundational
concepts in microeconomics and macroeconomics. In microeconomics, the subject introduces
the economic principles of demand and supply which are fundamental to understanding
market outcomes and government intervention in particular markets (for example to
provide social services/protection, environmental protection or to stop anti-competitive
market behaviour). In macroeconomics, the subject introduces the principles of economic
growth and the tools governments use to steer economic growth (both in the short and
long run) or make that growth more sustainable and inclusive. Understanding the principles
of economics allows students to anticipate the behaviour of market agents (be they
individuals, firms or governments), which is an important skill to any student, not
the least those pursuing a career in business.
Mandatory attendance requirements apply in this subject. A student who fails to attend
at least 8 out of 10 workshops, must meet with the Associate Dean of Learning and
Teaching and provide evidence as to why they should be permitted to submit the final
assessment task.
