You'll also learn a set of skills that you can use in roles beyond finance.
You'll learn:
- how to use data to communicate a variety of challenging financial, ethical and social issues
- how to present an argument
- how economics influences decision making in a wide range of scenarios, from people's behaviour, to environmental sustainability, to investments and government policy making
