This module provides an introduction to economics for students taking a degree in which economics is a major component. The main purpose is to equip students with knowledge of the main economic concepts, theories and principles and the basic tools and methods of economic analysis. The module is designed to provide a reasonably complete perspective, at an introductory level, of microeconomics and macroeconomics. The microeconomics part explores the standard analytical frameworks used in examining concepts such as consumer preferences, optimal choice, firms' costs and production decisions, demand and supply, market structures, market failure etc. The macroeconomics part deals with the main macroeconomic variables (GDP, inflation, unemployment) and their measurement, and the basic macroeconomic theory including models of short-run and long-run aggregate demand and supply, and economic growth.

By the end of the module students should be able to:

demonstrate knowledge and understanding of basic concepts, theories and models in economics;
apply the appropriate methods of analysis to specified economic situations and problems;
interpret economic information presented in written, numerical and graphical form.
