Economics is an exciting social science. It may seem to be all about money, but Economics is actually the study of life. Pupils examine the behaviour of individuals and how we make decisions in a world of finite resources. Economics is a cornerstone to understanding current affairs and international relations. It imparts an understanding of the world’s greatest problems such as inequality, obesity and plastic pollution. Economics is a highly credible subject with academic rigour, allowing students to access some of the most prestigious universities in the UK and overseas.
Candidates would normally be expected to obtain at least six Grade 6s at GCSE level (or equivalent).
Three examination papers, involving a mix of calculations, data response questions and essays: • Paper 1: Markets and business behaviour (35%) • Paper 2: The national and global economy (35%) • Paper 3: Microeconomics and macroeconomics (30%)
