The course aims to develop a thorough comprehension of how the UK and global economies operate so that students can analyse how current economic issues and problems affect our daily lives. In Year 1 students are introduced to both Microeconomics and Macroeconomics and topics studied include demand and supply, markets and market failure as well as UK economic policy in recent years. The course starts with the foundations and builds layer upon layer of understanding: every topic covered will have a distinct purpose and link to the examinations. The course will appeal to students who are interested in understanding how the global, European and UK economies operate. Students who enjoy analysing and evaluating economic problems and working with theoretical models and data benefit from the course. It will also provide a valuable insight into the world of politics and the environment in which the financial institutions and the business community operate.
• To study 3 or 4 Advanced Level subjects we require at least 5 grade 6 passes at GCSE. • Qualifications other than GCSE or BTEC are not counted unless related directly to subjects selected at Advanced Level. • Much of the content is mathematical and students are recommended to have at least a grade 6 in GCSE Mathematics and also English due to the amount of essay writing. This is normally the minimum requirement for a student to fully access this course.
