What it isEconomics is the study of how people, businesses, and governments make decisions about money, resources, and trade. You'll learn theories and tools to analyze why markets work the way they do, from individual spending habits to national policies. This program suits people curious about how the world's financial systems operate and who like working with data and logic to solve real-world problems.This is a combined undergraduate and law degree program that lets you study a humanities or social science subject alongside a professional law degree. Unlike a standard BA followed by separate law school, you complete both degrees together in an integrated path, earning a BA/LLB. It suits students who want a broader educational foundation in fields like English, archaeology, or communication studies while training to become a lawyer, rather than focusing only on law from the start.Humanities I is your first year of study in the liberal arts, where you explore human culture, language, history, and society through subjects like English, history, drama, and linguistics. You take a range of courses across these fields to discover what interests you before specializing in a particular discipline in later years. This suits students who are curious about how people think, communicate, and organize themselves, but aren't yet certain which humanities subject to focus on.
