Economics

An awareness of the economy is a requirement for students who aspire for the top jobs in the UK today. For example lawyers, accountants and politicians all need an in-depth knowledge of the economics environment.

At BRGS we provide the framework for hard working students to attain the level of economics required to progress to university and beyond.

The subject concerns the following economics issues:
» Unemployment
» The Recession
» Government Policy
» Economic Systems
» Taxation
» Wage Determination
» Politics
» Law

Able students who are prepared to work hard, find the subject fascinating and stimulating.

This AS/A2 level can be studied alongside most subjects for example: Maths, Sociology, Psychology and especially History, Geography and English which all have a heavy economics section in their study.

Higher Education and Career opportunities:

The subject should appeal to anyone who wishes to find out in a theoretically rigorous way more about the economy in which they live, whilst at the same time gaining a qualification which has a number of career options, including banking, accountancy, business studies and law.
