Looking at the contemporary media situation we are constantly bombarded with messages about economics, so perhaps it is worth understanding a bit more about the A-level economics subject. A-level economics is a fairly new subject available to study but is becoming a very popular option. There are a lot of doors opened from studying A-Level economics, with great university choices as well as career options.
During this A-level Economics course, you will study how to explain and analyse economic issues and arguments, evaluate economic information, and organise, present and communicate ideas and judgements clearly. At the end of this stimulating Economics course, you will have a solid basis on which to build a career in banking, finance, or government.
The Economics A-level course will give you an in-depth understanding of how Economics impacts on societies across the globe as well as an appreciation of how a market economy influences national and international policy. A detailed analysis of the European Union will also help prepare our A-level Economics students for a variety of career opportunities. If you want to develop an enquiring, critical and thoughtful ‘economist’s mind’ this is the course for you.
A-levels are the gold standard for education in the UK, recognised by universities and employers alike as a mark of significant achievement. Having an A-level demonstrates a thorough understanding of a subject, will boost your career prospects and will open up new opportunities for you. This A-Level Economics course has been written to the latest specifications and has been designed to give you the best possible chance of success.
You’ll have everything you need to succeed, starting with a clear induction and well-structured assignments to help you to develop the skills and knowledge you need to prepare for the exam.

Very timely responses to queries.
I was reluctant to enrol at first because the costs were much higher than anywhere else. I wanted to enrol on 3 A-levels so it was a considered purchase for me. I read the reviews and put in a request to be called back.
I was called on time and by a well-spoken lady who offered all of the reassurance I needed. It was clear after speaking with Oxbridge why their costs are higher. They also organise the exam centres, get you preferential exam prices and offer to support you if you do not pass the course. I am delighted to say I did not have to take advantage of the last point as I passed with a better grade than I expected and this is whilst the gradings were being changed. Your teaching has been excellent, but also your courtesy, professionalism and support have been invaluable.
I chose to study via home study because of its flexibility. I actually thought it would take me longer to complete this course but I was pleasantly surprised at my pace, and I achieved a grade much higher than I expected. So pleased.
