Economics relates to every aspect of our lives, from the decisions we make as individuals to the policies of governments and firmsWe believe the future of research lies in breaking down traditional barriers between academic disciplines so the bigger problems of the 21st century can be considered from human as well as physical perspectives. We have a number of interdisciplinary research themes, which fit closely with international research priorities.

Course programme

At AS Level you will discover the fundamentals of the economic problem. Why we make the choices we make and the impact of our choices. You will gain an understanding of many of today’s front page news items such as issues regarding the Eurozone, the double dip recession, and taxes on Cornish pasties! In Unit 1, we look at specific markets and you will discover how demand and supply governs everything that you do! In Unit 2, we look at the external environment and how things such as inflation, growth, unemployment and foreign trade affect us all. AS Modules: • Unit 1 – The Operation of Markets and Market Failure • Unit 2 - The National Economy in a Global Context In the full A Level, we will cover AS concepts and focus more specifically on firms and the influence of the markets in which they operate. In Unit 1, we discover why firms behave the way they do and why some people earn more than others. We also examine issues surrounding the environment and inequalities in our society. In Unit 2 our focus shifts to the world economy and the theory behind trade. We also learn more about exchange rates, unemployment, inflation and other economic concepts in more depth than at AS. We focus on how and why various government policies are used to manage our economy. In Unit 3, we will primarily bring together theory from Units 1 and 2 to apply to a case study with real world data. A Level Modules: • Unit 1 – Markets and Market Failure • Unit 2 – The National and International Economy • Unit 3 – Economic Principles and Issues
