Economics deals with how the World earns and spends its wealth, and anybody who wants to understand how modern societies work, or, indeed, sometimes fail, should find the subject to be of great interest. Those who have studied History, Geography or Business Studies at GCSE will already have a good idea of how much Economics can affect us all. Students taking Economics at Advanced Level may not have taken the subject at GCSE level, but we are happy for a Year 12 student with no previous knowledge of the subject to join the course but assume that they have a keen interest in the Business environment and what is being reported in the media. There is also an opportunity to join in business competitions such as Young Enterprise which will add to the enjoyment and achievement of students at this level. We direct our efforts towards developing economists with critical, creative, and research aptitudes along with profound social commitment and capability to contribute to socioeconomic development.
