What the college says

Studying Economics requires students to think logically and analytically, to clearly articulate abstract facts and to have a keen interest in current events and policies. Economics fits with a range of other A Level subjects as it necessitates scientific rigour, intellectual curiosity, as well as independent and critical reasoning. Economics is a highly versatile subject that provides many different career pathways. Many students decide to study the subject at university, and from there go on to work as economists in various fields such as with the Bank of England, the CBI, accountancy firms, in economic ‘think-tanks, in charitable organisations, in multinational corporations, or in government departments.
