What the college says

Economics is a wide ranging subject which touches on every aspect of commercial life. As a result, study of Economics will broaden your understanding of the business, political and real world, encouraging you to evaluate some of the consequences of business and government decisions. Study of Economics is useful to those intending to enter the business and commercial world since it is included as a core subject in the examinations of all the professional bodies. Economics is a difficult subject to summarise in a few lines and is probably unlike many of the subjects you will have studied at school. It is an academic subject which provides a good link between science and arts subjects. It is scientific in its investigative nature and requires good logical and analytical skills, together with the ability to produce convincing written argument. If you study Economics you will discover, as with any subjects concerned with human behaviour, moral issues and that there is often more than one way of interpreting the observed facts. You will study the theories which try to explain economic behaviour, and will be free to weigh up the alternative arguments and draw your own conclusions. The subject is ideal to study alongside Mathematics, Biology/Physics/Chemistry, Government & Politics, History, Sociology, Geography, Business and English. Economics is a subject that is intertwined with many A-Level subjects.
