Everyone's daily lives are affected by economic issues and our A level Economics helps students analyse and think critically about the world around them. It is a prestigious subject inquiry with the rare distinction that a Nobel Prize is awarded annually for outstanding contributions. An Advanced GCE in Economics will introduce you to the effects of economic variables on everyday life for consumers, businesses and governments. This qualification is highly valued by universities and will give you enhanced career choice and progression opportunities. In Micro economies, private ownership and the pursuit of self-interest are paramount through the workings of the price mechanism and microeconomic theory analyses the strengths and weaknesses of free markets in this context. We address questions such as: How should university fees be funded? NB Germany have recently scraped university fees. Should there be a maximum wage? Should the government go ahead with HS2? What are the alternatives? Should we be concerned rising London house prices versus the rest of the UK and what, if anything, should be done about them? Who should run our hospitals and for whom should we provide free health care? Why are GPs considering charging for patient consultations and what were would be the consequences for society if they did so? Should the utility services be brought back into public sector?
