Oxbridge Preparation Course - Economics

คำอธิบายหลักสูตร

This course is designed for those who want to approach Economics with the lens of Macroeconomics and Development Studies. The syllabus is aimed at students with limited or no previous exposure to economics, intending to provide them with a basic understanding of key concepts, and their application in a modern, global environment. Each lecture will seek to introduce a set of key economic concepts, and then to illuminate them by employing them in the context of a contemporary debate. Unlike most introductory economics courses, which focus heavily on the technical aspects of economic models, this module seeks to focus much more heavily on the core intuition of economic analysis and on learning to understand its application in real world contexts.
