Introduction to Economics for Business (L1001)

15 credits, Level 4

Spring teaching

This module provides an introduction to the fundamental principles of economics. The first half of the module deals with micro-economic issues including the behaviour of individuals and firms, their interaction in markets and the role of government.

The second half of the module focuses on macroeconomics and examines the determinants of aggregate economic variables, such as national income, inflation, and the balance of payments and the relationships between them.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2026/27. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
