A level

This course consists of 20% mathematics and entails the use of multiple diagrams. It is split into microeconomic s (the individual firm or consumer) and macroeconomics (the broader economy), which are examined separately and together in the synoptic final exam paper. The course is very much focused on what is going on in the real world and requires a keen interest in current affairs. The students often comment that by the end of the course they have a much greater understanding of news bulletins!
