Economics is about understanding how the world around us works. You would be ideally be very interested in reading or watching the news and be questioning why things are the way they are. If you feel the that the government is too preoccupied with growth and doesn’t care enough about people’s wellbeing then this would be the ideal course for you to explore these thoughts. We also would be looking at whether Britain was right or wrong to leave the EU. You might also have debates in class about the possibility of banning cigarettes or the success of the sugar tax. You may discuss the future of tuition fees and what the logic is for it. Economists answer the questions above by developing and applying economic principles to these issues. By developing these models and applying them you will them to gain an understanding of the issues above and many other real world problems. WHAT UNITS/TOPICS WILL BE STUDIED? In the first year we look at markets – how they work and why they sometimes fail. We also study the UK economy in detail looking at the causes of unemployment, inflation and the deficit and examine the effectiveness of government policies to tackle these issues. In year 2 we study the rise of globalisation and the causes and effects of poverty in both developed and developing countries. We look at the UK's relationship with Europe and our major trading parties and also look in greater detail at market structures and government regulation policies.
