Economics

Entry Requirements

There are no entry requirements for studying economics A level. So long as students are willing to work hard and engage with their teachers, we are pleased to welcome them to the department. It should be noted however, that while there is no significant mathematical component to economics at A level, should a student wish to go on and study economics as a stand-alone subject at a top university, A level mathematics is likely to be a prerequisite. However, should a student wish to continue studying economics beyond school but they do not take mathematics at A level, there are still plenty of options. Economics can be studied alongside another subject, such as politics, management or sociology as a joint degree, often without requiring mathematics A level.
