EconomicsThis course is designed to develop an appreciation of
the way in which governments apply the world’s resources to satisfying
the planet’s insatiable desire for goods and services. The key investigation
areas are: • methodology: understanding the first principles of consumer behaviour
and of firms that attempt to maximise profits Assessment is via four modular examinations over a two - year period,
with AS examinations taken in the second January of the course. No coursework
option is available. The subject is enriched by the diversity of challenges that the world presents to economic policy makers, notably the recent recession, and our students are encouraged to develop rigorous powers of analysis and evaluation. We recommend that a candidate can demonstrate strength at GCSE level in a broad range of subjects, but particularly in mathematics and in an evaluative humanity such as history. Nearly all our A level candidates go on to study economics or a related
subject at university. A wide range of career paths are available not just
in finance and business but also in the law, in UK and European public
policy making, and in journalism.
