The course is aimed at students who normally major in
disciplines outside arts, but who want to acquire knowledge of the
economic way of thinking and economic concepts to understand events
occurring around us. It includes both parts of economic theory,
microeconomics and macroeconomics, presented in a flexible, fast going
way. The course will be especially useful for students who possess
analytical skills since economic concepts are seen through simple
economic modelling.
