Economic thinking plays a vital role in solving real-world problems and shaping public policy. 

This 12-week, Level 9 micro-credential is designed for professionals who do not have a strong background in economics but want to study the subject at postgraduate level.  

You’ll explore key public policy issues such as taxation, inequality, inflation, and public spending, and learn how to evaluate them using applied economic tools. 

This module is associated with the MSc in Economics and Policy Analysis. It can be taken as a standalone micro-credential or as part of a pathway to a larger award.
