Economics is about choice and its impact. It relates to every aspect of our lives, from the decisions we make as individuals or families to the structures created by governments and businesses.
Studying Economics will help you understand and make use of economic information. You will learn to analyse, interpret, predict and explain the actions of individuals, businesses and governments to various economic situations. You will develop an appreciation of how markets and governments work and how the decisions taken in these economic contexts affect our daily lives.
Economics is therefore a useful subject for many students, particularly if you are interested in a career in business or finance, central or local government.
SQA offer Economics at three levels: National 5, Higher and Advanced Higher. The Faculty currently offer National 5 and Higher levels.
Pupils going into S4 will require a N5 recommendation from their S3 Business teacher. Pupils in S5/6 can gain entry into N5/H by having a conversation with Mr McNiven. Pupils will be able to progress to the Higher Economics after successfully passing the N5 course.
