Pupils are introduced to Economics through building knowledge of core microeconomic and macroeconomic concepts, and by investigating economic theory through real-world businesses and the environments in which they operate. Breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding with applications to more complex concepts and models are developed in the second year of study. Pupils will need to apply their knowledge and understanding to both familiar and unfamiliar contexts in the assessment and demonstrate an awareness of current economic events and policies.
GCSE grade 6 in English and grade 7 in Maths is recommended. GCSE Business/Economics, although an advantage, is not required. To avoid overlap in Enterprise subjects, you can only choose to study one of Business Studies, Level 3 Applied Business Studies and Economics at Bethany Sixth Form.
Consists of three externally assessed examination papers. Questions are data response and open ended essay style.
