What the college says

Economics provides students with the knowledge and analytical skills to understand, explain and evaluate the economic forces which shape all of our lives. Economics is the study of choice and decision making in a world with limited resources. You will develop the skills required to make a case for government intervention and be able to argue whether: the UK should leave the European Union, Green taxes and subsidies will work, higher rates of income tax are fair. Economics A-level is linear. Assessment of a student's knowledge and understanding of the whole course takes place at the end of two years. At the end of Year 12 the student will be able to continue the subject on to the full A-Level if a D grade or better is achieved in the Year 13 entrance exams. Economics develops your ability to structure an effective argument and relies on confident numerical skills.
