Economics
Economics
provides a fascinating insight into some of the most important forces
that shape the modern world. It is an intellectually demanding subject
that requires and develops a wide range of skills.
AS and A level
We follow the EdExcel course, from which students learn how to:- develop an understanding of economic concepts and theories through a critical consideration of current economic issues, problems and institutions that affect everyday life
- apply economic concepts and theories in a range of contexts and to appreciate their value and limitations in explaining real world phenomena
- analyse, explain and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the market economy and the role of government within it
- participate effectively in society as a citizen, producer and consumer
- develop their skills in written communication and analysis using statistics and diagrams
After St Paul’s
Many Paulines have
studied Economics at university. This can be an excellent platform for
a number of careers. Many OPs have entered the world of banking, starting with Thomas Gresham (founder of The Royal Exchange in 1565).
Others have entered the academic
world:
