Start this course freeBusiness I is a first-year business administration course that connects the parts of a degree usually taught in isolation — economics, accounting, law and management — into one coherent foundation. Lessons are short, and the practice puts you to work: reading financial statements, applying legal and economic reasoning, and solving quantitative problems rather than memorising terms.
It covers the economics of the firm, introductory economics and microeconomics, business law, the mathematics business relies on, sociology, the practice of business administration, accounting, and economic history. Together these give you the analytical toolkit — quantitative, legal and organisational — that later management, finance and strategy courses assume.
The course is designed for students starting a business, economics or management degree, founders and professionals who want the fundamentals properly, and self-learners who prefer rigour to buzzwords. Every unit is free to start, and the lesson content is open-source on GitHub.
