Business
Level 3
Economics, A Level
Economics is not solely focused on numbers and money; it also considers the world around us from a social, financial and cultural perspective, gaining an understanding of economic theories and interrelationships between macro and micro economic issues.
You will also develop skills in communication, analytical and numerical skills.
This course is part of our Sixth Form Career Excellence Hubs, which brings you closer to industry than ever before. You will hear from people within the industry, who will equip you with the latest skills, to enhance your future career opportunities.
What does the course involve?
You will look at decisions made by organisations and the government, and the impact they have on the economy. You will cover the following topics: exchange rates, unemployment, inflation, national debt, growth, worldwide markets, and energy pricing policies.
You will widen your knowledge through the investigative nature of economics, which provides excellent opportunities to excel in both written and verbal communication. Economics is perfectly matched with business studies for a career in a business environment.
How will the course be assessed?
Exams in your second year.
What future study opportunities and careers are there?

It also opens up many career opportunities including those in business, management, politics, finance, banking, management consultancy and economic journalism.
