Economics is a both an art and a science that affects us all in everything we do; whether that be decisions made in World Trade Organisation negotiations, or a girl’s individual choice of A Level subjects, the course covers all levels of individual and international relevance. We live today in a perfect case study!
The course is structured into two AS and two A2 Modules with no coursework. Each Module has its own exam (90 minutes in AS Level and 2 hours at A2). We follow the OCR AS (H061) and A2 (H461) Specifications.
Girls are not required to have any previous knowledge of the subject; instead they must have a desire to participate in lessons, enjoy logical thought and an ability to assess strengths and weaknesses of theories and arguments. There is never a right or wrong answer to any economic problem and the best solutions come from those who have the willingness to display the above skills.
Increasingly, universities are looking to distinguish the excellent from the good and a good Economics grade is seen as a credible signal to that distinction, whether it be as a first choice of subject at university or a supplementary qualification for other subjects. Employers make the same distinctions.
