Economy Studies

The Centre for Economy Studies works on improving and modernising economics education to ensure that students will be better prepared for their future careers and the societal challenges we face today and in the coming decades. The Economy Studies approach to economics education emphasises the importance of real world knowledge, engaging teaching formats and independent, critical and open-minded thinking. On our website and in the book Economy Studies: A Guide to Rethinking Economics Education, we describe this approach in more detail and how it can be applied to existing courses. To enable teachers to renew their courses, we also provide open access ready-to-use teaching packages with lesson plans, slides, readings, classroom exercises, and exam questions. In addition, we provide workshops, tools and on-going support to educators and students on how to rethink economics education.
