What are the changes?

What changes, and what stays the same for Economics?

	What changes?	What stays the same?
Structure	There are no longer any tiers All three units are compulsory There is greater weighting on the case study unit instead of equal weighting for all units.	Pre-release case study.
Content	Micro and macro-economics have been clearly defined in Units A591 and A592 Unit A593 builds on the knowledge learnt in the two preceding units Topics have expanded to cover global economics instead of just the European Union The assessment objectives relate directly to the content The content has been streamlined so that the learners focus purely on relevant, modern-day issues surrounding economics.	The theory of economics and how it relates to modern business is kept The specification has a familiar look and feel to it. It feels the same but benefits from being freshly updated to include recent economic examples and is, therefore, more relevant All the best features have been kept from the current specification, including the pre-release case study.
Assessment	Units are weighted differently Examination time has been reduced for Units A591 and A592, which are both now an hour each.	All units are externally assessed.
