What the college says

A Level Economics aims to help students develop an understanding of economic issues, problems and institutions that affect everyday life.

Economics has become an increasingly popular subject to study by students seeking to understand the changing national and international economic and political environments. It is relevant to the modern world and helps students to understand their role in society. The course provides the opportunity to study a wide range of concepts which can be applied in a variety of contexts whilst developing analysis, questioning and quantitative skills. This course would suit those students who enjoy a challenge and have a genuine interest in the economy and the wider world.
