Bangor University

In Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Economics (Placement Year), Economics provides students with different ways of thinking about the world and how it functions. It helps to understand how individuals, businesses and governments do behave; and gives insights into how they should behave. At one extreme, economics informs the decisions that governments make about some of the most pressing issues of their day, including climate change and inequality. It informs how businesses make decisions about everything from pricing and advertising to investments in product development and corporate strategy. At the other extreme, it can help them as individuals to make better decisions about their own lives; including how hard they should work and how much they should save for their retirements.
