QQI-FET progression to Economics DN710

(opens in a new window)Economics explores how and why ordinary people – consumers, business people, public servants and politicians – make decisions, and how they choose between alternative ways of spending their money and using their skills, energy and time in a wide range of human endeavour.

If you are interested in people’s behaviour and in current affairs, enjoy problem solving and are naturally analytical with good numeracy skills, then Economics will appeal to you.
