What the college says

Economics is truly all around us, present in almost every aspect of our lives. It is the study of the allocation of scarce resources. So if you are inquisitive about the world around you - for instance: why do footballers get paid so much money, or what causes poverty in world or why Apple has been so successful - then this course is for you. WHERE DOES IT LEAD? Economics is a highly regarded subject with many post A Level opportunities in both higher education (degrees) and employment (e.g. banking and finance) in addition to post degree employment in both the private and public sector.Things we study: Why is petrol taxed so highly? How can the UK deal with its obesity problems? What causes unemployment? Should the government still pay for a universal health service? Is it the end for Tesco? Is there still a need for the high street and high street shops? When will China become the richest country in the world? What has held back development in Africa in the last 50 years? Will the UK leave the EU and what would be the effects? Importantly, why is chocolate running out in October 2020?
