Course summary

The Pearson Edexcel Level 3 Advanced GCE in Economics A is structured into four themes, two of which focus on micro economics with the other two looking into macro-economic concepts. You will build your knowledge and understanding of core economic models and concepts in Themes 1 and 2, and then build on this and apply your knowledge to more complex concepts and models in Themes 3 and 4. You will need to apply your knowledge and understanding to both familiar and unfamiliar contexts in the assessments and demonstrate an awareness of current economic events and policies.
