The AS-Level Economics (9708) course provides students with a solid foundation in understanding the principles, theories, and applications of economics. The course covers key areas such as microeconomics, including demand and supply, market structures, and the behaviour of consumers and firms, as well as introductory macroeconomics, including national income, inflation, unemployment, and government policy. Students develop analytical and problem-solving skills by learning to interpret economic data, apply economic models, evaluate real-world scenarios, and make reasoned decisions. Emphasis is placed on case studies, data analysis, and the correct application of economic principles, alongside theoretical understanding. This balanced approach prepares learners for further studies in economics, business, finance, and related fields, while fostering critical thinking and an appreciation of how economic systems influence individuals, businesses, and society.
