Where does it lead? Many sixth form economists go on to take a degree in the subject but many more will find that they have to study some economics at university in courses such as Finance, Business Studies, Surveying and Economic History. Economics provides students with analytical and evaluation skills which are useful in many other careers, including financial services, business management and consultancy, marketing, law, civil service and engineering. Course overview Economics has long been considered the choice subject of many of society’s leaders. Economics gives us an insight into the levers of wealth and well-being. Economists today analyse problems in the economy and attempt to create innovative ways to correct them. The World needs bright young people with a clear understanding of the challenges and opportunities of the 21st Century global economy. Studying A level economics is a fabulous opportunity to begin developing this understanding. You can expect to: • Learn the tools that economists use to understand how markets and economies work, why they might fail and how to improve them. • Analyse and apply economic theories to a range of real-world contexts but, by learning to think like economists, you will learn a wide range of holistic skills. • Learn how to effectively structure a balanced argument and how to evaluate the significance of different factors over different timescales.
