Economics
Discover how TMJC's Economics programme develops adaptive thinkers through inquiry-based learning, authentic real-world applications, and meaningful industry engagement, equipping students with the analytical, collaborative, and decision-making skills needed to thrive in an increasingly complex world.
Economics is the study of how individuals, firms and governments make decisions in a world of scarce resources. The GCE A-Level syllabus covers both Microeconomics, which examines the behaviour of individual consumers, firms and markets, and Macroeconomics, which studies the economy as a whole. Through the subject, students develop an interest in contemporary economic issues while learning to analyse problems from multiple perspectives, think critically and construct well-reasoned judgements using sound economic reasoning.
At TMJC, besides the explicit teaching of disciplinary knowledge and skills, an inquiry-based approach centred on authentic case studies is adopted to deepen students' understanding and application of economic concepts to diverse real-world issues. Lessons are enhanced through technology-enabled learning to promote self-directed and collaborative learning. This is further complemented by a range of enrichment opportunities, including competitions, seminars and learning journeys, allowing students to engage with industry practitioners and contemporary economic issues while developing the adaptive thinking, collaborative and decision-making skills needed to thrive in a dynamic and interconnected world.
