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.
Tutorial attendance is mandatory in this subject. A student who fails to attend at
least 70% must meet with the Associate Dean of Learning and Teaching and provide evidence
as to why he or she should be permitted to sit the final exam or submit the final
assessment task.
