The study of Economics helps to develop a critical and analytical mind that challenges any preconceived notions regarding how the economy works. A Level Economics is specifically designed to help curious students appreciate the wide variety of theories, arguments and policies which are shaping our world now and that will shape their world in the future. Successful students will quickly discover the strong relationship between Economics and other academic subjects with either complementary knowledge (Politics, Philosophy, History, Geography, Psychology) or complementary skills (English, Mathematics, Physics, Languages). Students develop the widely transferable skills that industry demands through regular practice of ‘hard skills’ including independent research and problem-solving as well as ‘soft skills’ through active participation in groupwork, discussions, debate and presentations.
We recommend that students have attained at least Level 7 in both GCSE Mathematics and GCSE English.
A Level Economics is a linear course with three papers at the end of two years. Papers 1 and 2 are each weighted 35% of the final qualification whilst Paper 3 represents 30% of the final qualification. Each paper carries 100 marks. ■ Paper 1: Markets and Business Behaviour is a 2-hour Microeconomics paper ■ Paper 2: The National and Global Economy is a 2-hour Macroeconomics paper ■ Paper 3: Microeconomics and Macroeconomics is a 2-hour synoptic paper In addition to multiple choice questions, short answer questions and data response questions students will be expected to draw upon a range of mathematical techniques and integrate graphical interpretations of theories into persuasively written, evaluative, essays.
