Economics

Step into the captivating world of Economics with our A-Level course, where you’ll explore and decode the mysteries behind the real-world issues that impact our lives every day. From understanding why prices rise and fall, to uncovering how global events affect our economy, this course will equip you with insights that go far beyond the classroom.

In the first year, you’ll explore two main areas: microeconomics and macroeconomics. Microeconomics digs into questions like, Why are house prices so high? Can pollution be controlled? and When and why should governments step in to regulate markets? You’ll start to understand the forces behind everyday issues and the impact of individual choices on the world around us.

In macroeconomics, you’ll tackle big-picture topics: Why does the government care about inflation, and how does it impact us? What happens to the economy if people suddenly spend more? How do China and India’s growing economies affect us here in the UK? And What does Brexit mean for the UK, Europe, and beyond? These questions are just the beginning of an exciting journey that makes you think critically about how the world works.

By the second year, you will look deeper, building an advanced understanding of economic theories and models. You will examine how the global economy influences the UK, exploring the impacts of globalisation, the interplay of companies in markets, and how various economic goals can affect the fairness and effectiveness of markets worldwide.
