Economics is a subject that helps you make sense of the modern world. It is always current, always changing and always engaging. One day you might be exploring how Tesco and Asda compete for customers, the next studying government intervention, environmental policy or global trade. It is about how individuals behave, how businesses operate and how governments make decisions. At A Level you will develop the ability to analyse real-world problems and evaluate solutions using economic theory. These skills are widely valued and provide a strong foundation for future opportunities. Economists work across many sectors, with the Government Economic Service, banks, accountancy firms, technology companies and global businesses all employing specialists to interpret data and shape strategy. Beyond the classroom, students are encouraged to put their learning into practice. Opportunities include the World Economics Cup, the Wharton Global High School Investment Competition and the IEA Budget Challenge, giving you the chance to test your knowledge against the best internationally.
