Economics A level

We ask for a minimum GCSE score of 5 grades at grade 4 or above in five different subjects including English Language and Mathematics. We accept equivalent Level 2 qualifications such as BTEC and OCR Nationals but will only count them as 1 grade.

In addition most subjects require at least a grade 5 at GCSE in order to take them at Level 3. Maths and Science subjects require a grade 6.

Is this course for me?

There are many reasons to study economics- from the huge range of skills you will gain, to the exciting types of employment you will be geared for. Economics teaches how to make well-informed decisions. A large part of the subject is decision making: what should the government do to cut the budget deficit? What should a business do to raise profit margins? It teaches us how to go about making choices, which is vitally important in business. It is worth noting that salaries for economics graduates are among the highest of any discipline!
