What Will You Learn?

Laying the foundations of your economics knowledge, you’ll learn about the assumptions of economics (and the flaws of these assumptions), along with key theories and the behaviour of economic actors. You’ll gain a basic grasp of core concepts such as economies of scale, market failure, externalities, elasticities, and macroeconomic metrics such as inflation and unemployment.

With this knowledge, you will be able to understand what economic policies are appropriate given the economic landscape, and the potential unintended consequences of such policies.

This course is for anyone wishing to gain a core understanding of how an economy functions in a capitalist society. Studying the Economics Diploma Course, you’ll be equipped to critically analyse economic data and news, understanding what is happening in markets and the macroeconomy.

Following completion of the course, you can build upon the foundational knowledge of economics gained by going on to further study – learning about IS-LM, banking and financial markets, game theory, and econometrics.

The CoE Learning Experience

What's not to love about learning with the CoE

The course modules are in-depth & easy to read/understand. Prior to carrying out the assessment you are able to consolidate your learning by completing the test your knowledge & bullet pointing the learning objectives. Further to this, once you have completed each assessment you receive feedback, and you receive feedback once you complete the course.

Any issues you may encounter, the team at COE are on hand and respond quickly & efficiently - double bonus, you have lifetime access to all the courses you complete, great to revisit & brush up on your knowledge & they have online support through their Facebook group.

Excellent credited courses for everyone!

Desc: I have done over 15 courses with CoE already and I can only recommend them. Friendly customer support, great topics, very alternative and unique courses you'll hardly find anywhere else. Also a huge selection of different interests, there is something for everyone. Great discount codes running at all times! What started as a way to cope with COVID has become a true passion for me. Thank you CoE!
