How will Brexit affect the UK and the World? Why do footballers earn so much more than nurses? Is it time to end the ‘Throw Away’ society? Economics is different from almost everything you will have studied before. It brings together a whole range of different skills – writing essays, analysing numerical data, interpreting articles and evaluating ideas. Economics combines very well with almost all other subjects, ranging from Mathematics and Physics to History and Geography where there are a range of issues in common. If you are interested in the reasons for and the effects of the recent upheavals in the world economy, then this is the subject for you.
You will require a GCSE in Mathematics and English Language at Grade 5 or higher. A commitment to work hard and an interest in the world around you are also essential. You will be expected to read newspapers and watch the news. You will be encouraged to subscribe to a magazine specifically aimed at Sixth Form economists such as ‘Economics Today’.
There will be 3 final examinations in Year 13 which will involve a combination of multiple choice, short answer, data response and essay answers.
