What the college says

Anyone moving on from GCSE with an interest in understanding how individuals, businesses and governments make decisions about using our scarce world resources. You don't need to have studied it at GCSE to take the A Level and it fits particularly well with most subjects including other social sciences, history and geography, as well as with business related subjects. It will give you transferable skills frequently sought after by employers including numeracy, extended writing, analytical and decision making skills as well as commercial awareness: an essential requirement for business.

What you need to get on

4-5 GCSEs at grade 4 (C) or above including English and maths.

How you are assessed

Academic subjects, mostly exams, three or four at once. The traditional route to university.

What this level means

The A-level-equivalent step, and what universities and employers ask for.

Is it open to 16 to 18 year olds?

Approved for 16 to 18 study on the government's Section 96 list.
