Simply want to know why we have to make choices. Or why petrol is so expensive? Are you interested in why some people are rich and others not? Or why China will soon be the most powerful country in the world. A-Level Economics aims to provide insight into key issues in the news affecting everyday life. Our goal is to allow you to develop informed opinions and understand the forces that drive up interest rates, prices, exchange rates, and unemployment in an economy. A-level economics is a suitable subject choice alongside Business Studies, History, Geography, World Development, Sociology, and Psychology. A-level Economics mixes traditional classroom teaching and learning with the requirement for independent curiosity and motivation to discover how the world works. Classroom lessons will involve individual, paired, and group work opportunities, independent research, analysis of the real world and existing business issues, and the use of ICT. Independent curiosity drives home learning, with the need to access current affairs and news stories to apply economic theory to the modern world. AS Level Microeconomics – scarcity and choice, how competitive markets work, market failure and government intervention Macroeconomics – economic policy objectives, demand and supply, application of policy instruments, the global context. A level Microeconomics – the above plus competition and power, labor market. Macroeconomics – the above plus the financial sector. Themes in economics – economics in the ‘real world’. Economics continues to be viewed as a rigorous and testing A-level, being well regarded by higher education institutions. Economics can lead to many career areas.
