Who this course is for
If you ever wonder about issues like what caused the last financial crisis, why poverty exists and is Brexit a good idea, then economics could be for you. You don't need to have studied economics at GCSE to take the A Level course. Depending on the career path you want to take in the future, economics fits particularly well with other social science subjects, with history, geography, but equally as well with business related subjects. It will give you transferable skills frequently sought after by employers including numerical, analytical and problem-solving skills as well as commercial awareness: an essential requirement for business.
