A Level Economics (GCE2Y)
at Bishop Luffa School, Chichester · school or sixth form
What the college says
Our world is dominated by Economics, whether you realise it or not! Therefore we often relate our studies to current affairs, and economic developments within and beyond the UK. Economics is a social science, that combines well with a broad range of subjects including Maths, English, History and Geography. You will be dealing with economic theory and seeing how this theory fits the real world. You will be applying economic concepts to contemporary UK economic and social issues such as how to achieve economic growth, tackle unemployment, and control rising prices. Should interest rates be changed? What level should the minimum wage be? Should there even be a minimum wage? Should the government/EU subsidise farmers? What is the future of the Euro? How can government reduce the budget deficit? What will be the impact of Brexit be?
