The study of Economics at A Level begins in Year 12 by developing an understanding of the fundamentals of microeconomics, looking at the individual behaviour of consumers and producers within specific markets. Students will simultaneously learn the basics of macroeconomic study, including topics such as inflation, unemployment, and economic growth.

 

In the summer term of Year 12 and moving into Year 13, students will further their study of microeconomics, by learning about business economics and the labour market, whilst in macroeconomics, students will widen their perspective through applying the concepts they have learned to a global context, covering topics such as poverty, inequality, and globalisation.
