A chat with a world class economist...Jia Yi!

By
It is always great to hear how students are getting on as they progress through life, moving on to bigger and better things... Many of our students at GIS go on to study at some of the world's best universities and it was wonderful to hear from Jia Yi Lim, who recently moved from Malaysia to the USA and is now settling into life at Harvard University. When in Year 13, Jia Yi was over-the-moon to have received offers from Harvard, Stanford and Cambridge ...having only made 3 applications! Harvard was chosen in the end, but it was certainly a decision which took considerable time, a lot of thought and careful deliberation. In only her first semester at Harvard, Jia Yi is loving life. Having been fortunate enough to have taught her A Level Economics as well as enjoy watching her debate and witnessed her incredible community service work ( Project Smile ), I thought I knew what Jia Yi was capable of.

What’s the difference between business and economics?

By MBAecon
Every year, as we go through the Options process (IGCSE and A Level), parents and students alike have hundreds of questions. And rightly so, the decision is important. But one question we hear multiple times every year is:  "What's the difference between business and economics?" ...and more often than not, this question includes accounting.

Business studies delves into the core areas related to businesses and their operations. The buying, selling, producing and marketing of goods and services.  Imagine a business, let's say it is a factory.

Get ahead this summer - Read

By
The summer provides AS students the perfect opportunity to set themselves apart from other students and to get ahead, making their life that little bit easier for the A2 year. This might be in terms of being prepared for the A2 course but also for the all important university applications process, and the subsequent interviews... One excellent way students will set themselves apart is through reading. Universities say they want to see applicants reading relevant books that show they have an interest in the subject they wish to study. Imagine applying to do an economics degree having not read any books! It is not just about reading anything, it is about what you have read. So, to help you we have tried to provide you with some reading at various levels that should enable you to choose the appropriate books for you this summer. Don't forget, being up to date in terms of news and opinion is also critical so make sure you check out the further reading recommended in...
