A real-world subject taught with real-world application throughout, as the content is taught with references to consumers, households, workers, firms, governments and the macroeconomy. The ability to think critically is developed throughout as we look at the advantages and disadvantages of economic decisions and justify which decisions are better based on a given scenario. Students will enhance their political and social understanding. Alongside this, aspiration levels are raised as students gain the skills that will open doors to promotions up an organisation or give them the chance to run their own firms in the future.
