Where can this course take me?
In completing the Economics course you will possess many skills prized by both universities and employers. By the end of the course you will be able to construct logical arguments, interpret and critically analyse data, and be able to make judgements on the basis of the evidence and arguments presented. You will be better able to understand problems in society and the possible solutions to those problems.
Economics will allow you to follow a wide range of professional and academic interests after college. Former students have gone on to work in the Economics profession (Bank of England and Treasury), while other students have used it as a vehicle to gain access to other academic and professional fields including degree apprenticeships.
Those who study Economics will develop the following skill sets:
- Develop their extended writing skills to present evaluative arguments
- Develop their research, judging and evaluation skills
- Be able to make reasoned arguments
- Develop their skills of processing, understanding and presenting information to back arguments
- Develop opinions and new ideas on economic issues
- Relate economic knowledge to economic policy
