Economics is a thought-provoking course which offers the opportunity to learn about the latest economic theories and practice in the context of different economic issues both nationally and internationally. It explores the role of government, producers and consumers and explains many of the issues and debates that feature in today’s news and society in general. Students are encouraged to make use of the Internet, newspapers, magazines and television programmes as Economics focuses on topical issues and events. Lessons will utilise the ICT facilities in the classrooms, discussions, presentations, small group activities and independent research. Economics is a rigorous academic subject which is well respected by both universities and employers. The combination of analytical, numerate and literate skills developed in A Level Economics means it is a valuable preparation for a variety of university courses. However, many of our students choose to study Economics at degree level.
