infoWhy this? Globalisation, Developing Economies and International Trade is taught because it helps students understand how economies, businesses, and consumers are increasingly connected through trade, investment, migration, and technology. Students explore the causes and consequences of globalisation, the differences between developed, emerging, and developing economies, and the role of international trade in promoting growth and development. Globalisation, Developing Economies and International Trade also develops an understanding of exchange rates and global economic relationships, enabling students to analyse how international factors influence businesses, living standards, and economic performance.

scheduleWhy now? Globalisation, Developing Economies and International Trade is taught at this stage because students have already explored how firms compete, grow, and improve efficiency within markets. This unit expands that perspective by examining how businesses and economies operate in an increasingly interconnected global environment. Globalisation, Developing Economies and International Trade provides the international context needed for later study of labour markets, economic performance, and macroeconomic policy, helping students understand the global forces that influence economic decision-making.
