Economics

Course summary

The course uses a theoretical framework to develop an analysis of the economic system in the UK and the rest of the world. An ability to think logically is essential. Students must also have an interest in acquiring a broad understanding of economic events in everyday life. It is therefore important to undertake background reading from books, newspapers and magazines. Students will not be at a disadvantage if they have not previously studied GCSE Economics; a large number of students choose to study the subject for the first time in the sixth form.
