Which contributing units run in each series?
An available award cash-in does not mean all its units are offered in that series.
- 4WEC1 · Economics (Unit 1)
Listed unit series: November 2026; June 2027.
- 4WEC2 · Economics (Unit 2)
Listed unit series: November 2026; June 2027.
- Unit option A is ordinary paper-based, R is regional paper-based, C is onscreen, and V is regional onscreen (CR in the unit title). The option is V, not CR. The cash-in 4XEC1 has a blank option cell.
- Available to international centres only. Both required units and the separate cash-in code are needed for an award. Units can be taken in one series or banked under the candidate UCI across series; no grade can be issued without the cash-in entry.
- Where applicable, centres in the countries listed in section 2.6 (physical page 3) must select the regional paper option. Regional and regional-onscreen rows are listed for June 2027 only in this manual; eligibility depends on the centre location.
- Centres must request approval to offer onscreen assessment (manual physical page 3); paper-title C means onscreen and CR means regional onscreen. These are entry options for the same award.
- This reconciles award identities and entry options only for the 2026/2027 manual window. Teaching, books, practice, formal assessment validation and specialist approval receive no completion credit.
