Economics

Course summary

A-level Economics gives you an understanding of how economies allocate their scarce resources to meet the needs and wants of their citizens. You will analyse the economic problems that face individuals and firms (microeconomics) and look at the ‘big picture’ of how our national economy fits into the global context (macroeconomics). Economics is a social science and by the end of the course, you will look at the way the world works in a very different way. As an economist, you will develop excellent analytical and evaluative skills that will be valued in whatever path you choose for your future.
