Qualification - NCEA level 3

Level 3 Economics is a course which can be started at this level and continued successfully on to University. It is, however, an advantage to have studied Level 1 and/or Level 2 Economics, but not essential.

It is for:

• Commerce students

• for any of the integrated degrees requiring several disciplines

• any career where economic decision-making is a key skill.

The course is very structured. It is an excellent lead into first-year University Economics papers.

Other optional activity

Young Enterprise - this activity is extra-curricular and is optional but it does give students an opportunity to apply the knowledge being learnt in class. Columba has a tradition of excellence in Young Enterprise. Activities include the development, production, marketing and sales of a good or service.
