What the college says

The products and services you use every day are only available because of an increasingly complex system of global markets. Economists seek to understand how households, business and governments interact and make decisions that influence our present and future living standards. Choose economics if you want to understand the challenging decisions that face modern political and business leaders in their attempts to manage resources more effectively (not necessarily ethically). Economics is widely respected as a challenging subject by universities and employers and in 2014 61.3% of Loxford students achieved grades A*-B. Essential if you go on to A career in financial services (banking, accountancy, stockbroking), law, politics, journalism, business consultancy or teaching.

What you need to get on

To study any combination of 3 A levels, you must have at least 5 GCSE grades above a level 5, including English and Maths.

How you are assessed

Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
