About this course

Learners will study issues such as Brexit and the Coronavirus and how they have had huge implications for the UK and its relationship with other countries. This is then examined in the context of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the impact this has had on global living costs. These economic shocks will be long-lasting and demonstrate why this course is ideal for learners who are interested in studying the fastest-growing A level in the UK, reflecting its usefulness both in employment and higher education. Economic theory is mixed with topical information to give an understanding of how individuals and industries operate alongside the differing needs of both domestic and international markets. It is this topicality that helps provide the skills that make Economics the highest earning degree.
