A-level Economics
at Notre Dame High School, Norwich, Norwich · school or sixth form
What the college says
Economics is an increasingly popular subject at A-Level, no doubt due to the current economic climate and the subject's high standing with universities. During their studies students will be introduced to microeconomics and macroeconomics, developing an understanding of both the UK and global economy. Economics investigates how individuals, firms and nations make economic decisions - students will be studying areas such as demand and supply, elasticity of demand and supply, externalities, economic growth, interest rates, inflation and unemployment. Students will learn to apply the 'economist's toolkit' (a range of theoretical models) to recent and current economic problems both at a domestic and global level.
