Having originally come to university to study aeronautical engineering, I had no previous experience of studying economics when I began my economics and politics degree. I had chosen my A-levels with an engineering degree in mind, so had studied mathematics, physics, and government and politics.
Although, like most people, I was aware of the economy, knew that it affected me, and did my best to follow news stories regarding economic issues, the most experience I had of economics in school had come through the study of political ideologies and political approaches to economic management in my government and politics A-level. I knew very little, if anything at all, about economic theory, the way that economics would be taught or the extent of the influence of economics on society and everyday life. Fortunately, this unfamiliarity didn’t last long!
