What the college says

Economics is everywhere, it influences our individual choices, shapes the news, and drives national and global trends. The A Level Economics curriculum offers students a chance to delve into the nature of both national and global economies, providing insights into the issues, challenges, and institutions that dictate our daily lives. The subject addresses a fundamental question: How do societies efficiently allocate their limited resources? As students venture into this social science, they will discover that, at its core, economics is a particular way of studying human behaviour. The course introduces an array of concepts, theories, and analytical techniques, encouraging students to critically assess the economic challenges and institutions that impact our world. Emphasis is placed on developing quantitative skills, ensuring students are adept at interpreting data from contemporary events.
