The Economics Edexcel course incorporates key elements involved in economics and business. Students apply economic theory to real life business concepts to help them understand the complexities of the real world around them. Students use data to help them analyse markets and the economies, and how governments influence both. Students use economic theory to understand events and develop an understanding of the strategies employed by businesses responding to these events. The A Level specification is structured into four themes. In this structure, students are introduced to core economic concepts and develop a broad economic understanding of economic issues and how these relate to business context, before building on this core knowledge and understanding to consider more complex issues and wider contexts. In this thematic approach, progress is continuous as students develop their knowledge and understanding throughout the course.
There is no requirement to have taken Business Studies at GCSE. Mathematics and English at grade 6 or above is necessary.
