Studying Economics
Economics is a key discipline in the social sciences. Its subject
matter engages with other subject areas such as psychology, politics,
sociology, anthropology, geography, history and law. It also uses
mathematics and statistics and is engaging increasingly with sciences
such as biology, environmental science and medicine. Furthermore,
since knowledge of economics is essential for an understanding of
business behaviour, strategy and corporate performance, it is one
of the central disciplines underpinning the study of business and
management and related areas.
