Economics is a versatile subject that can help you in a number of careers. Not only could you find yourself working for big corporations, banks or the Government, but your qualification could also be of valuable support in a career such as Marketing, Law or Journalism. Economic systems are fundamentally relationships between economic factors such as employer and worker, or consumer and seller. Economics is the study of how societies define these relationships; we will also be looking at Economics from a global perspective. Theory of Knowledge applied to Economics topics gives opportunities for philosophical discussion.
An interest in, and a desire to study, Economics are essential.
This is a two-year course with a final examination. The final examination makes up 80%, while 20% of the course is based upon an Economics Portfolio created over the course. This is made up of THREE economic commentaries based on up-to-date newspaper articles, referred to as Internal Assessment. There are three major assessment points in the course: 1) End of year one internal exam (June Year 1) 2) Internal Mock exams in Spring term year two (Jan Year 2) 3) External exams (May Year 2)
