How do rational consumers make their decisions in the marketplace? Why is profit not viewed as a good thing by an economist? What are the best macroeconomic policies for the UK economy in the post 'Brexit' era? Why do footballers earn huge salaries while nurses do not? If you are interested in current affairs and world issues, then economics is the subject for you! Core Micro and Macro Economics: • How rational economic agents make decisions, how markets work, why markets fail and how markets are regulated. • How the national economy is managed and by who, inequalities in the global economy, trade vs aid, the labour market and the role of the Central Bank.
• You should have at least a grade 5 in GCSE maths. • You should have at least a grade 5 in GCSE English language and GCSE English literature. • Ideally you should have a grade 5 or higher in a humanities subject and in science subjects. • You need to be confident in writing extended essays as well as handling numerical data and interpreting graphical models. • The majority of students have not studied economics before as this is rarely offered at GCSE.
In the second year of the course, you will take three external exams that assess content covered in the first and second year. These exams will determine your A level grade.
