Economics (GCEA)
Wren Academy Finchley
Course summary
Economics is a Social Science which can fit well with students taking Mathematics and Science subjects, as well as those studying Humanities. Typical questions we attempt to answer include: Why are house prices so high? How do interest rate changes affect the economy? Are monopolies good for society? Why did the Credit Crunch happen? And why do some countries grow much faster than others? The course concentrates on the key skills of Research, Data Analysis, Reasoning and Judgement and Evaluation.
