|
| Economics is studied in the Sixth Form for one year at
AS or two years at A level. The course is modular and consists of 6 modules
of study: 3 modules at AS and 3 modules at A2. It is not necessary for students
to have studied economics before and no prior knowledge of the subject is
required. Those who have studied Business Studies at GCSE will find some
of their knowledge useful. An interest in current affairs is also helpful. In lessons, students are introduced to theory and then have opportunity to apply their knowledge and discuss real-life situations involving the use of data. Economics combines well with history, geography, sociology, and students also study it with English, mathematics and French. It is a popular subject at degree level and a useful qualification for those considering careers in business, finance, retailing and management. |
