Economics

Entry Requirements

You will need to have 5 GCSEs in grades 9/A* to 4/C including English Language. You will need a grade of 5 or above in GCSE Maths. You will also be required to complete a GCSE to A-level Transition Project, prior to enrolment, to prepare you for A-level Economics. To succeed, you must be able to read challenging articles and textbooks well and often and enjoy data interpretation and statistics. You must be able to write essays employing appropriate terminology and using structured analytical paragraphs that communicate your thoughts in-depth but also clearly. Many pupils do not realize this, and it is important to be very clear - more pupils struggle in Economics because of weak English than weak Mathematics. A good economist is someone who can communicate technical knowledge in a clear way.
