Economics

Course summary

The Economics department attempts to provide a framework to help you make sense of news stories, political decisions and even your own choices made on a daily basis. You will learn to analyse, explain and weigh up the strengths and weaknesses of the market economy and the role of individuals, businesses and government. It is not an easy option because you will need very strong Maths skills and be comfortable writing essays. Strong GCSE grades in both Maths and English are essential prior to undertaking the course.
