‘的 ultimate purpose of economics is to understand and promote the enhancement of wellbeing’ - Ben Bernanke
Our goal in the 经济学 department at 真人游戏在线app is to equip every A Level student with the tools they need to enable them to apply economics in real life situations and understand the world around them. We aim to build the foundations of not only how, 但是为什么, thinking and acting like an economist will enable our world to overcome problems through allocating resources more efficiently.
的 department seeks to inspire each student with knowledge and enthusiasm for economics and to enable them to think creatively, 自信地分析和评估. This is based on the Edexcel syllabus and built upon the framework the department provides each student during their time at Waldegrave. 学生 will study four themes over the duration of the course - two microeconomics and two macroeconomics. In microeconomics they will look at how markets work, 为什么市场会失败, the behaviour of business and the labour market. 在宏观经济学, they will study how economic performance is measured, the performance and policies of the UK economy, 全球经济, 国际贸易, 金融业, poverty and inequality and development economics.
We also aim to provide a wide variety of co-curricular activities to complement the A level 经济学 course. We have a number of speakers who come into school throughout the year as well as a trip to the City of London and Docklands in Year 12. We encourage 经济学 students to participate in the Waldegrave MBA and to enter various 经济学 competitions throughout the course.
