This module introduces the fundamental principles of microeconomics, focusing on how individuals and firms make decisions. It builds a strong foundation in economic modelling, helping students understand and solve core problems using mathematical techniques. The module emphasises the role of rational decision-making, optimisation, and equilibrium in analysing real-world situations. By developing critical and analytical thinking skills, students will learn how to apply economic models to both consumer and producer behaviour.

The syllabus is divided into three parts. Introduction covers the basics of microeconomics, including rational decision-making and supply and demand analysis. Consumer Theory explores how consumers make choices using indifference curves, budget constraints, and utility functions, with applications of Lagrangian Optimisation and demand analysis. Producer Theory examines production processes, cost functions, and the theory of costs, providing insight into how firms make production decisions.

This module forms the foundation for more advanced microeconomics courses. Pre-requisite for: ACFI320, ECON213, ECON221, ECON222, ECON227, ECON233, ECON241, ECON250, ECON251, ECON307, ECON333, and ECON312.
