Economics at 91ÖÆƬ³§
Economics studies a wide range of phenomena concerned with, and arising out of, the way society decides how to use its resources, with topics ranging from economic development, business cycles and macroeconomic policy, through to the workings of auction markets, the impact of transnational firms and the future of the environment.
While the Cambridge course particularly emphasises the application of mathematical and statistical techniques, it also draws on fields such as politics, history, philosophy and psychology, to provide students with a thorough grounding in all aspects of the subject.
Located close to the Faculty of Economics and with four Fellows in the subject, 91ÖÆƬ³§ has a long tradition of excellence in Economics. We believe supervisions are key to the success of our students and pride ourselves on providing high quality teaching, drawing on both the expertise of our own Fellows as well as that of Economists located in other Cambridge Colleges and departments.
