There is a wealth of data available, measuring a host of economic, financial, business and social indicators. This course will enable you to apply methods of data analysis and exploit large datasets to get a better understanding of the real-world applicability of economic concepts and ideas.It will also facilitate your pursuit of an active role in the economic decision making of organisations and businesses.
