Economics

Course summary

The Economics A Level is a linear course with exams at the end of the second year of study. Microeconomics in the first year examines the role of markets in the distribution of resources, goods and services, and also why markets may fail or work inefficiently. In macroeconomics, the course takes a broad look at the wider UK economy, with a deep analysis of the effectiveness of economic policies such as manipulating interest rates, changing tax rates and spending on education and healthcare.
