Economics

Entry Requirements

A-Level Economics requires a reasonable level of numeracy but it is not mathematical. The main skill that a good economist needs is the ability to analyse economic data, to interpret graphs and tables, identify trends and explain these using economic theory. The ability to see how one part of the economy e.g. the demand for cars, may affect other parts e.g. the demand for steel, is also important. This requires a clear mind and an ability to think and analyse logically and to write good English.
