Economics is a subject dealing with the issues of today. It aims to develop an understanding of the national, international and global economy. As well as studying the theories that underlie the subject, students will develop an economist's 'tool-kit' of skills that enable them to research and analyse economic problems. A wide variety of economic issues will be studied ranging from scarcity and how much workers get paid; road congestion and environmental pollution; to globalization and the rise and fall of countries like Greece and the BRICS.
All students take internal examinations at the end of Year 12 to assess progress and then again in mock examinations in Year 13. These courses are externally assessed by examination only. At the end of Year 13 students will take three examinations for the full A Level qualification.
