Economics is a living, breathing, dynamic subject that offers many new perspectives on the modern world. It is a subject that influences our everyday decisions. Which job offer to accept, where to live, what to buy and how to pay for it. If you ever think that governments over or undertax people, or what an interest rate is and how it will impact your life, then economics is the subject for you. If you have ever wanted to know why we cannot just print money to help poor people, whether tech giants such as Facebook, Google and Apple do more harm than good, what the best pricing strategy for the new iPhone is, how the government should best tackle global warming or the illegal drug trade, then Economics can set you on the road to finding answers.
Offers of places will be sent out in December. Some candidates will be placed on a waiting list, and these candidates will be contacted if they are going to be offered a place. The offer of a place is conditional on a candidate achieving a minimum of eight (I)GCSE passes at A / 7 grade, of which at least four are at A* / 8-9 in the subjects to be studied at A Level. No prior knowledge of Economics is assumed for this course but a top grade in Mathematics (I)GCSE is highly desirable. While numerical ability is an advantage, it is by no means essential to being successful in Economics at A Level. For those who wish to pursue Economics at University, however, it is essential that pupils have at least A Level Mathematics if they later want to read for a single honours degree in Economics. Further Mathematics is strongly recommended for the top university Economics faculties in the UK.
The entrance exam contains no Economics! It consists of two parts. Part one contains multiple choice questions to test logic and thinking and some graph/data analysis questions. Part two is an essay designed to test a pupil’s ability to develop an argument, for example ‘Should you be able to sell your kidney?’.
