The course is divided into four themes. During each year of the course, you will study a macroeconomic and a microeconomic theme. You will learn how to use a set of analytical tools and models – an economist’s toolkit – to understand how individuals, households, firms and whole economies respond to what is going on around them. Many issues of national and global importance are discussed and analysed using the tools you will build in your economist’s tool-kit.
Economics requires a good level of numeracy (a minimum of Grade 5 in GCSE mathematics) but does not require a study of mathematics at A-level.
Kingsley economics students study the Edexcel GCE Economics A specification. Linear A-level examinations are taken at the end of the course. In addition, AS examinations will be taken in the summer of Year 12. These may be ‘stand alone’ qualifications for those who do not wish to continue with the subject beyond Year 12, but also provide useful examination practice and help with university applications in Year 13.
