Economics A Level is a very wide-ranging and relevant course which is designed to provide an insight into the workings of a modern economy and how it affects individuals and institutions operating within such a system. The course focuses on recent economic events, current economic issues and problems relating to the UK, but with the increasing globalisation of the world economy, it also deals with how we affect, and are affected by, developments in Europe and the rest of the world. What does the course focus on? The course focuses on recent economic events, current economic issues and problems relating to the UK, but with the increasing globalisation of the world economy, it also deals with how we affect, and are affected by, developments in Europe and the rest of the world. Which topics are covered? We offer the AQA specification, which, as well as looking at the theoretical aspects of the subject, puts considerable emphasis on how it can be applied to the present day. Some of the many topics covered during the course include supply and demand, the labour market, international trade, taxation, government spending, unemployment, inflation and the management of the economy generally. The new specification has been updated to include the recent financial crisis and current topic areas such as development and behavioural economics. What subjects does it go with? In recent years, Economics has been studied in combination with almost every subject on offer. Many students take it with English, Mathematics (usually Pure and Statistics), Geography, History, Business, Psychology and / or Sociology but it is also a useful addition to someone concentrating on sciences or languages.
