In Economics A level, students will explore how individuals and societies deal with the problems of scarcity and resource allocation. They will learn how to think like a social scientist; drawing on current events and global affairs to examine human nature and the institutions that shape our world. By the end of the course, you will have developed transferable analytical skills and be able to draw meaningful conclusions from statistical data using economic indicators to assess the performance of countries and industries. You will also have gained a critical awareness of how economic agents are affected by market forces to evaluate economic arguments and challenge government policies.

Its multidisciplinary nature is highly valued by a diverse range of employers and industries from journalism, charity work and the civil service; to banking, finance and consultancy.
