A-level Economics

What do you think of current economic policy? Do you think you could do any better? Perhaps you have considered these questions before, or maybe you have not thought about it until now. Either way, if you would like a better understanding of the world in which you live, then you should be choosing economics.

The course provides an excellent challenge for those who want it - after all, the subject has baffled even the most brilliant minds at times. One of the things that students enjoy most about this subject is the fact that there is the opportunity to apply your economic knowledge to a range of real-world contexts such as environmental destruction and the housing market. The recent economic issues cannot have escaped anyone's notice. Are you the person who can solve the problem?
