The A Level course will cover such varied topics as demand and supply, the extent to which poverty still exists in the UK, the effects of the credit crunch international issues such as globalisation and development economics. The course is structured in such a way that you will start by building up an “Economic Toolbox” which you will then use to analyse and evaluate current Economic issues. At all times you will be encouraged to include your own knowledge of current affairs and use that knowledge to complement you’re academic studies. As the course progresses you will become more aware of some of the main economic problems and how a variety of governments have attempted to overcome these problems. This will entail developing a critical awareness of how policies might operate and the consequences of such policies. You will learn to assess business and economic news with a more reasoned and critical eye, rendering events, such as the Budget, less of a mystery to you.
