Economics B

“To change the world you need to understand it, to understand it you need to know Economics.”
There could hardly be a more important time to study Economics A Level. ‘Austerity’, ‘furlough’, ‘recession’, and ‘innovation’ have become part of our everyday language, as we see governments around the world struggle to balance their priorities and achieve their objectives. Studying Economics gives us the tools to address these complex issues; students may not have studied it before but that doesn’t matter! Society needs academics and professionals who can devise intelligent solutions in a constantly changing environment; this course will give an insight into business operations and the global economy.
