Economics is designed to apply economic theory to support analysis of current economic problems and issues, and encourages you to appreciate the interrelationship between microeconomic and macroeconomics. You will explore the disagreements that exist between economists and current economic controversies. You will come to appreciate why such disagreements exist and the basis on which judgements are made. Economics solves problems by abstraction – breaking a problem into its various components, as any one thing has various factors influencing it; to analyse by observing past data, as well as what theory predicts, to investigate which choices are being made and why. Extra-Curricular Opportunities: Throughout the course opportunities are provided to debate current issues, for example; the potential impact of Brexit on individual consumers, business and the UK economy; to the implications of an ageing UK population. In Year 13 students attend lectures on examination preparation and techniques in central London which are run by chief examiners for the AQA exam board. Additional Support: Throughout the course a variety of assessment styles are used including real life case studies and data exercises to better prepare you for further study and employment. You will be assessed on your ability to use both quantitative and qualitative evidence to evaluate arguments and to support judgements relating to economic issues and problems. Rigorous tracking systems are implemented to see individual student progress over time and detailed feedback will be provided as to what you need to do to get to the next level. Progression Routes: Economics is a discipline in its own right. It does not neatly fit into any box. Economics borrows from multiple sciences e.g. sociology and law; to explain why and how people act to improve their wellbeing and wealth. By the end of the course you will have gained an understanding of what it means to be an independent learner to prepare you for the next phase of your learning journey whether studying for a degree, an apprenticeship or starting work. Economics complements a variety of occupations including investment banking, accounting, law, public service or business. Curriculum Leader: MS. MOORE: mmoore@barnhill.school
