Cambridge International AS & A Level Economics provides learners with the skills needed to use economics in work or further study, including how to explain and analyse economic issues and arguments, evaluate economic information, and organise, present and communicate ideas and judgements clearly.
Our approach in Cambridge International AS & A Level Economics encourages learners to be:
- Confident, in using the terminology, concepts, theories and principles of economics, building a solid foundation in the subject
- Responsible, by making judgements that weigh up all factors, including the potential impacts of economic decisions on people and on the environment
- Reflective, through reading widely and critically, making links between the different aspects of the subject and considering the impact of changing conditions, assumptions and uncertainty on economic outcomes
- Innovative, through the application of economic knowledge and understanding to solving both familiar and unfamiliar problems, using unseen source material drawn from a constantly changing economic world
- Engaged, by developing economic awareness and an appreciation of the subject’s relevance to everyday decision-making by individuals, firms and governments, leading to real-life application, and possible further study.
