Course summary

WHY CHOOSE THIS SUBJECT? • Economics has become a high-profile subject in recent years. Inflation and Brexit are just two topics rarely out of the news, throwing light on the importance of and divisions within the discipline. • Economics develops a wide range of skills – knowledge, application, discussion, analysis, synthesis, evaluation and organisation. • The subject can be chosen in conjunction with any other combination of subjects, because as well as being a major subject in its own right, it complements subject development across the curriculum. Many girls choose to study Economics with Maths, or Sciences, or Languages, or other Humanities subjects. • Students are not permitted to study both Economics and Business Studies at A Level. • Due to the quantitative skills required in Economics, students are required to achieve at least a level 7 in GCSE Maths in order to study the Economics course.
