The specification aims to engender an interest in and enthusiasm for the study of the subject. It helps students to develop both an understanding of a range of economic concepts and an ability to use these in a variety of contexts. Students are encouraged to use an enquiring, critical and thoughtful approach and to try to think as an economist.
A grade 6 at Mathematics GCSE is required to study this course, given the importance of logical thought and ability to handle data. In addition to an ability to think logically and analytically, a hard-working approach is essential for those that seek top grade success. Economics has seen a significant increase in popularity in recent years; much of this is due to the topicality and accessibility of the material and the ease with which it combines with a multitude of other subjects. For those wishing to study a pure Economics course at university, Maths A level will generally be required (and in a few cases Further Maths).
