Overview
Economics 1A, together with Economics 1B, teaches the basic principles of economics. Economics 1A focuses on the fundamental principles and microeconomics, i.e. the role of the market mechanism for resource allocation followed by considerations of its limitations. Some optional mathematical content is delivered as part of this course for students who have not studied Maths to Higher/ A Level or equivalent (typically 5-6 years of secondary education), which is important for students intending to pursue the subject at level 2.
