There are several definitions of Economics but most textbooks seem to agree that Economics concerns the allocation of society’s scarce resources amongst the many alternative uses to which they could be put. In Economics you’ll look at the fundamental forces which affect our lives, such as employment, prices, international trade and poverty. Economists are often in healthy debate with each other over these issues. It is this controversy which makes Economics lively and interesting and which allows you the opportunity to make your own judgement and form your own opinions.
A minimum of 5 GCSEs Grade 4 Grade 5 in English and Grade 6 in Maths.
Three 2 hour exams comprising: • One data response question (from a choice of two) • Two essay questions (from a choice of three contexts) Each paper has a 33.3% weighting towards the A-Level qualification. Each paper is worth 80 marks.
