More about the course

What will I study

Economics is the study of society through the behaviour of people, firms, and governments, with the aim of understanding and improving well-being and wealth in society. A-Level Economics is divided into two parts: Microeconomics and Macroeconomics.

Microeconomics studies the decisions of individuals and firms to allocate resources of production, exchange, and consumption. Microeconomics deals with prices and production in single markets and the interaction between markets.

Macroeconomics focuses on the performance of economies – changes in economic output, inflation, interest and foreign exchange rates, and the balance of payments. Poverty reduction, social equity, and sustainable growth are only possible with sound monetary and fiscal policies

Why choose Economics at KGV

Our Business and Economics staff pride themselves on providing an insightful and challenging experience. They achieve this because of their own extensive experience, both in teaching and in industry. Having staff who have worked in business environments prior to entering teaching enables them to expand and elaborate on the theoretical learning by applying it to many real-life examples that they have witnessed both in and out of the workplace.

Economics prepares you for study at degree level, either for standalone Economics or as part of a joint degree with a wide range of other subjects. It can also lead to higher apprenticeships. Possible careers could include working in financial markets, business management and corporate law.
