The course examines key topic areas and extensive use is made of exam-based questions to illustrate relevant principles and examination techniques. The course will cover most aspects of the specification, although particular emphasis will be placed on topic areas and examination techniques that students generally find most difficult.

A large focus of the course is teaching students how to present their theoretical knowledge and understanding into the contextualised structure examiners are looking for.

The course covers the following areas:

Theme 1: Introduction to markets and market failure
The nature of economics, how markets work, market failure and government intervention.

Theme 2: The UK economy – performance and policies
Measures of economic performance, aggregate demand and aggregate supply, national income, economic growth, macroeconomic objectives and policy.

Theme 3: Business behaviour and the labour market
Business growth and objectives, revenues, cost and profits, market structures, labour market
and government intervention.

Theme 4: A global perspective
International economics, poverty and inequality, emerging and developing economies, the financial sector, the role of the state in the macroeconomy.
