A Level Economics Online

Candidates beginning this course are not expected to have studied economics previously. A qualification in maths equivalent to IGCSE would be useful.

Economics A level online provides a suitable foundation for the study of economics or related courses in higher education. It may permit or assist progression directly to university courses in economics or some other subjects. It is also suitable as part of a course of general education.

In the October of year 11, 12 and 13 parents and guardians will receive an email asking which exams the learner intends to take, and where they would like to take them. Parents and guardians must inform King’s InterHigh if they need assistance finding an exam centre by mid-October.

King’s InterHigh can support you in finding a local exam centre. It is then down to the individual to register with the centre of choice and pay the exam fees to the centre directly. As each exam centre sets their own fees we cannot provide accurate pricing, however as an example, you can see our own fees by clicking here
