The Economics and Business Studies department will be following the Edexcel GCE Business A Level Specification and the Edexcel GCE Economics B A Level specification. Each course is divided into four themes. Theme One - Markets, consumers and firms Theme Two - The wider economic environment Theme Three - The global economy Theme Four - Making markets work
Students do not need to have studied either subject at GCSE, but both courses require students to be numerate and to write well. Students should have achieved at least a grade 4 for both Mathematics and English to study Business, and a grade 6 in both Mathematics and English to study Economics. Due to the fact that both subjects relate to the real world, an interest in current affairs would be an advantage. The courses offer students a path to a new way of thinking and a window through which to view the world around them with wonder.
Assessment for both courses is entirely by three, two-hour examinations.
