| Overview |
This course can provide a formal qualification in the field of economics for graduates with little or no background in the discipline, or it can act as a refresher course in economics for those whose initial studies occurred some time ago. It is also a broadening course for those who, for personal interests or vocational requirements, now wish to extend their knowledge of economics into areas not previously studied such as Advance Economic Theory, Economic History, Economic Development, Economic Policy or Resource Economics. Finally, it can be a qualifying step towards higher studies, particularly the Master of Economics program. |
