Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know — if you can't find your answer here, get in touch with our admissions team.

IGCSE Economics provides a helpful introduction but is not required. Students with strong analytical skills and an interest in economic issues can begin A-Level Economics successfully.

While diagrams and some calculations are important, A-Level Economics is primarily analytical and essay-based. Strong graphical interpretation and logical reasoning are more important than advanced mathematics.

Economics focuses on broader economic theory, markets, and government policy. Business focuses on organisational management, strategy, and operational decision-making. Many students take both.

Economics opens doors to careers in banking, finance, consulting, public policy, journalism, international development, and data analysis. It is one of the most versatile A-Level choices.

Assessment consists of written papers testing knowledge of microeconomics and macroeconomics. Papers include data response questions, essay-style analysis, and the application of economic theory to current issues.
