International A-level Economics

Our Economics programme studies the behaviour of various economic agents, including governments, corporations and consumers.
The basis of the subject involves an understanding of what happens in the financial markets and the macroeconomy. This is achieved by a statistical approach and centres on analysing and explaining their significance, thereby ultimately understanding the different policy options on offer in order to evaluate their outcomes.
Examination based. Assessment will take place either at a British Council office or an approved Edexcel Centre in your home country.
