Course Aims

This course is an introduction to economics for students with no or little economic background. It covers the basic principles and concepts of microeconomics, and introduces students through real-world economic cases to a method of reasoning, to think like an economist. The learning is discovery-based which encourages students to be aware of the economic events happening around them. Students learn to identify real economic problems in the world, analyse and explain them, and develop possible solutions for them.
