<p>Many students are unsure of how to write an Economics personal statement as they haven&#8217;t written one before. Starting your personal statement can be daunting, but you are not alone! We are here to give some pointers for students wishing to study Economics at university, particularly those applying to UK universities via UCAS. We have separated the process into three stages &#8211; research, writing and editing.</p>
<ol>
<li><a href="#Q1">What to Research for your Economics Personal Statement</a></li>
<li><a href="#Q2">What to Include in your Economics Personal Statement</a></li>
<li><a href="#Q3">How to Edit your Economics Personal Statement</a></li>
</ol>
<p><a id="Q1"></a></p>
<h2 class="h-2">What to Research for your Economics Personal Statement</h2>
<h3 class="h-3">Research your Economics Courses</h3>
<p>Research is vital for writing your Economics personal statement. First, you should have good knowledge of the Economics courses you are applying to. How does the university describe the Economics course (e.g. how <a href="https://wearequrious.com/admissions/how-much-maths-in-economics-at-university/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mathematical</a> is it?). What content does the course include? Will your interested area in Economics be taught in the course? </p>
<h3 class="h-3">Research Advice on How to Write an Economics Personal Statement</h3>
<p>Second, you may want to read <a href="https://wearequrious.com/admissions/economics-personal-statement-example/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Economics personal statement examples</a> from past applicants. This will give you some information what a good Economics personal statement includes, and what you should aim for. It is also good to look up any advice on writing personal statements. For example, this article you are reading! LSE also provides some <a href="http://www.lse.ac.uk/study-at-lse/Undergraduate/Prospective-Students/How-to-Apply/Completing-the-UCAS-form/Personal-Statement">general advice</a> to writing any personal statement.</p>
<h3 class="h-3">Research Which Aspect of Economics you are Interested in</h3>
<p>Finally, you should research into the topic in Economics that you are interested in, which we will discuss more below. <a href="https://scholar.google.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Google Scholar</a> is a great way of searching for academic papers/essays regarding a specific Economics topic you want to learn more about. Another option may be to look through any suggested texts/reading for the university course you are applying to &#8211; does any topic in particular catch your eye? Finally, our article on <a href="https://wearequrious.com/admissions/economics-books-to-read-for-personal-statement/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Economics books to read</a> for your personal statement may also help.</p>
<p><a id="Q2"></a></p>
<h2 class="h-2">What to Include in your Economics Personal Statement</h2>
<p>An Economics personal statement consist of many different components, and we explain the reason behind including each one in the sections below. </p>
<h3 class="h-3">Area of Interest in Economics</h3>
<p>In your statement, more than half of it should be used to show academic interest for a key topic/theme in Economics. The topic can be an extension to A-Level/IB syllabus that is slightly more advanced, or it can be something that will be explored further at degree level. This shows your understanding of Economics, and is a good opportunity to impress the admissions tutor with your enthusiasm. Remember &#8211; if you are interested in studying Economics, you should be self-motivated to learn more than what you are required to! Ideally, the topic/theme should also be tied to your personal reason to study the subject. This will make your interest more genuine, consistent and convincing. Have a specific topic in mind? <a href="#Question">Ask us about it</a>!</p>
<h3 class="h-3">Your Opinion on Economics</h3>
<p>It is all well and good to explain what aspect of Economics you are interested in. However, that is not enough &#8211; admissions tutors would want to know your opinion on the issue/concept you discussed. They want to understand if have processed and understood what you have learnt, rather than just regurgitating it. It also demonstrates your ability to think and evaluate about a topic in Economics critically, showing independence of thought. </p>
<h3 class="h-3">Motivation to Study Economics</h3>
<p>Of course, you need to specify why you wish to study your subject in your statement. It is important to figure out a good reason here that is relevant to you personally, in order to stand out. Avoid generic reasons like &#8216;I wish to study Economics to understand the world better&#8217; or &#8216;I wish to study Economics as my father works in finance&#8217;. Think deeper &#8211; what is it that is uniquely different about your environment, or what you experienced, that causes you to be interested about Economics?</p>
<h3 class="h-3">Interest in Mathematics</h3>
<p>For most, if not all Economics courses, there is a <a href="https://wearequrious.com/admissions/how-much-maths-in-economics-at-university/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">large amount of Mathematics</a> involved. This is because Economics pursues a more scientific approach via Mathematical Modelling and Econometrics at higher levels of study. Hence, it is important for you to demonstrate your interest in Mathematics, and the use of it within Economics. You can reduce emphasis in this component if the course you are applying for involves less Mathematical modules.</p>
<h3 class="h-3">Extra-curricular activities</h3>
<p>It is important to include some extra-curricular activities relating to Economics, as it demonstrates your interest in the subject outside of your studies. Ideally this can relate to your area of interest in Economics and your motivation to study the subject. The activities can range from anything such as <a href="https://wearequrious.com/admissions/economics-books-to-read-for-personal-statement/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">reading books on Economics</a>, attending Economics events, to having a related work experience. If you want to include any experiences not relevant to Economics to show what you are like as a person, that is certainly acceptable, but should be less than 25% of your statement. Ask our <a href="https://wearequrious.com/undergraduate-admissions/economics/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Economics admissions advisor</a> a free question below if you would like to know more about the various activities, and how to write about them.</p>

<p><a id="Q3"></a></p>
<h2 class="h-2">How to Edit your Economics Personal Statement</h2>
<p>After a first draft, it is important for you to get someone to review your Economics personal statement. This can help give you an objective perspective on what others think. Show it to your careers advisor at school, your Economics teacher, your Economics classmates, maybe even parents/siblings that have gone through a similar process. Of course, those who have more exposure to the subject may be a bit more helpful, like someone who applied for an Economics degree a few years ago. If you need professional, personalized advice on your Economics personal statement, you can reach out to our <a href="https://wearequrious.com/undergraduate-admissions/economics/">qualified admissions advisor</a> for suggestions. After receiving feedback, you can edit your personal statement accordingly, taking into account each reader&#8217;s unique perspectives. You will then have to compare the suggestions and decide which parts/sentences to keep, change or remove. After many changes/edits your personal statement will finally be concise, unique and polished enough for submission!</p>

<p><a id="Q1"></a></p>
<h3 class="yellow">How much Maths is there in an Economics Course?</h3>
<p>In a pure Economics degree, there is a substantial amount. For example, in the first year of an undergraduate Economics degree at LSE, there used to be two compulsory maths modules (Linear Algebra and Statistics), one Economics module, and an optional choice module. You can see that mathematics will already take up 50% of your studies, but Economics for only 25% at the start of the course! It is common for universities to provide mathematics modules in year one to ensure students are comfortable with Linear Algebra, Calculus and Statistics. You would have touched upon these from IB/A-Level maths, but they will more complex at university level. Therefore an intrinsic and fundamental understanding of mathematics will be very beneficial and important to studying Economics at university. These mathematical techniques will form the basis of understanding Economics using Economic modelling (in Micro and Macro) and Econometrics, which you will study in your second/third year. Hence in your second/third year, there is unlikely to be as much standalone maths modules, but more Economics modules with maths involved in them. We need to look into Econometrics and Economic Modelling to see how maths is used in Economics.</p>

<p><a id="Q2"></a></p>
<h3 class="yellow">How is Maths Used in an Undergraduate Economics Degree?</h3>
<p>Maths in Economics is mostly used for Econometrics and Economic Modelling. We will discuss both in more detail below with examples. If you would want to understand which actual maths topics are involved, you can read <a href="https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=3652897" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">this post</a> from The Student Room (TSR).</p>
<p><strong>What is Econometrics?</strong><br />
Econometrics is the study of Economics using statistical techniques. For example, in order to figure out how income levels may affect consumption in a particular economy, we may run a statistical test to determine the relationship between the two variables &#8211; e.g. how much will consumption increase in the UK given a 1% increase in household incomes? We do this by gathering large data sets of people&#8217;s income changes over decades, and see how consumption changed throughout the same years. There may be a positive correlation between the two variables, and the results also need to be statistically significant for it to be meaningful &#8211; Yes, we are talking about a higher level of hypothesis/significance testing using correlation, like in A-Level maths. The problem with only looking at only household incomes and onsumption using correlation is problematic, because there can be other factors affecting consumption &#8211; like wealth levels of those households, the amount of confidence they have in the economy, and so on. That is where more advanced mathematical techniques come into play, like multivariate regression. You can think of it as a multidimentional way of using statistical correlation, to include more factors that may also explain the relationship between the two variables. Nowadays most Economic concepts and theories tend to come from Economic Models, and is then verified with statistical evidence from Econometrics. </p>
<p><strong>What is Economic Modelling?</strong><br />
You may have learnt about basic mathematical modelling in A-Level maths, for example the exponential models you use to calculate population/bacteria growth. Economic Modelling is just using mathematics to demonstrate and explain Economic phenomenon. To explain this in a simplistic way, the diagrams you draw in A-Level Economics are basically mathematical graphs &#8211; in Microeconomics, Quantity is the x-axis and Price is the y-axis. You can have a mathematical equation representing each line or curve in your diagram. For example, you may have a linear equation (y = mx+c) for the linear demand curve, and a quadratic equation (y = ax^2+bx+c) for the average cost curve. Through the mathematical interaction of these equations, we derive Economic theory, such as how the market equilibrium is where demand meets supply. You can see the example below where we solve for equilibrium price using the intersection point of the two equations. Of course, the curves and interactions between equations are more complex at university as you can see from the Solow model example lower down the article. However, don&#8217;t be too discouraged as you will learn more in maths at university before tackling these topics. </p>
<p>Solving for equilibrium market price by using the equation for demand and supply:<br />
<code>The demand curve can be expressed as a straight line with equation y = mx+c, or x = y/m-c/m when rearranged to make x the subject. If we replace x and y with quantity demanded (Qd) and price (P), and 1/m with a and c/m with b (as they are both constants), then we will get the linear equation of demand Qd = a-bP. The variable a represents where the demand curve crosses the x-axis, and -b represents the negative gradient of the line. Hence if we increase a, there will be a rightward parallel shift of the demand curve. Similarly, the equation for a linear supply curve is Qs = c+dP. As we know, at the market equilibrium, quantity demanded and quantity supplied are the same, so Qd = Qs. Therefore we will be able to solve for market price using the simultaneous equations below:</p>
<p>Qs = c+dP<br />
Qd = a-bP </p>
<p>Subtracting the second equation from the first, we will get Qs - Qd = 0 = c-a+(d+b)P. Simplifying further, we get P = (a-c)/(b+d). What can we get out of this model? As we previouly mentioned, an increase in a means a rightward shift of demand. We can see an increase in a will increase the value of P in the equilibrium price equation P = (a-c)/(b+d). This means we mathematically expressed that the equilibrium price will be higher when demand increases. Similarly, if supply c increases, equilibirum price P will fall.</code></p>
<p><strong>University Economics Model Example</strong><br />
The Solow model is a very common year 2 undergraduate Economics model for undergraduates. The two videos below give an introduction with relatively little involvement of mathematics. If you are interested in the entire playlist, you can access them <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-uRhZ_p-BM5gdx2twZlv9dB5s8tlk7mQ">here</a>.</p>
<p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/eVAS-t83Tx0" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SljsIacQDbc" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>However, you are likely taught in a more mathematical way, like in the left video below. An even more mathematical approach is taken by the right video. </p>
<p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IqUuxEQUt4I" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OVoxwdBNx8M" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>So as you can see, a good grasp of fundamental mathematical techniques on <a href="https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=3652897" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">particular topics</a> like functions, and having some mathematical intuition is nearly essential to do well in a pure Economics degree. </p>
<p><a id="Q3"></a></p>
<h3 class="yellow">How to Choose an Economics Course with a Suitable Amount of Maths?</h3>
<p>There are a few aspects that you can look out for to understand how mathematically demanding an undergraduate Economics course is. </p>
<p><strong>Pure Economics vs Combined Economics Course</strong><br />
The first component to decide on is whether you want to study a pure Economics course, or a combined subject course &#8211; such as PPE (Politics, Philosophy and Economics), Economics and History, Economics and Law etc. In general, combined courses tend to be less mathematical as they consist of another subject, meaning there is less Economics and maths to cover (the exception is mathematics and Economics). Hence, if you are not very interested in the mathematical aspects but would like some exposure to the subject, this may be the way to go. </p>
<p><strong>Course Entry Requirements</strong><br />
Does the course you are interested in require an A* in mathematics or just a B in A-Level mathematics? Does the course prefer taking in students who have studied Further mathematics at A-Level, compared to just mathematics? What level of IB mathematics do they require, SL or HL? It is likely that the higher the entry requirements for mathematics to study the course, the more mathematically demanding the course is likely to be. This is because there is a higher expectation of students to have a higher mathematical fluency.</p>
<p><strong>Percentage of maths Modules</strong><br />
It is important for you to look into the structure of the Economics courses you apply to. Don&#8217;t just apply to courses with the highest ranking in league tables! As each year of study is generally separated into modules, it will be good to understand what percentage of modules are maths based for that year. For example, the <a href="http://www.lse.ac.uk/study-at-lse/Undergraduate/Degree-programmes-2021/BSc-Economics" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BSc. Economics</a> course at LSE used to have two full maths modules in the first year out of four total modules to study (50%). Compared to the <a href="http://www.lse.ac.uk/study-at-lse/Undergraduate/Degree-programmes-2021/BSc-Politics-and-Economics" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BSc. Politics and Economics</a> course at LSE, there are two half maths modules in the first year, meaning one full module out of four (25%). </p>
<p><strong>Requirements for Economics Modules</strong><br />
For the Economics modules in the course, you may be required to take specific maths modules at that university before studying them. This should be noted in the course description. It will be good to look at the pre-requisites of your mandatory and optional Economics modules in your course to understand this, and the level of maths required. If the module requires a year 2 Math course, it is likely to be more mathematical than one that requires a year 1 Math course.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the more non-mandatory modules (free options) there are in your course, usually in years 2 and 3, the more flexibility you have in choosing a less mathematical course. This will be something to consider if you want to vary the amount of maths to study in your Economics degree.</p>
<p><strong>BSc. vs BA. vs MSc.</strong><br />
In general, a higher level Economics course tend to be more mathematical, meaning a MSc. Economics degree is likely to be more mathematically challenging than a BSc. Economics one. A BA. Economics degree does not always mean that it is less mathematical than a BSc. one due to different course naming conventions at universities, like the <a href="https://www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/courses/economics" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">BA. Economics</a> course at Cambridge. However, it can be an indicator &#8211; you will have to check the course structure.</p>
<p><strong>Assessment Style</strong><br />
Finally, it is important to look at how you will be assessed in your Economics modules. Will it be more exam based or coursework based? If it is coursework based, will the coursework be based on an Economics model or more of an essay based study? If it is exam based, having a quick search online for past papers of that module may be helpful to understand how much maths there are. It may be more challenging if you have to take an Economics maths-based exam under time-pressure, so you may want to consider that as well.</p>

<h3 class="yellow">How to Prepare Yourself for the Maths in Economics at University?</h3>
<p>Mathematical ability and intuition can be trained if you are willing to put in the work. If you are not confident in mathematics but is passionate for Economics at university, you can overcome that barrier by being more prepared. Echoing <a href="https://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=3652897" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">this post</a> from TSR, the two books below would give a great introduction into maths in Economics for those with a GCSE/A-Level maths background. Jacques explains the maths from the beginning such that it is quite suitable for self-teaching.</p>
<p>1. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B079TL1S8P/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1634&#038;creative=6738&#038;creativeASIN=B079TL1S8P&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=wearequrious-21&#038;linkId=1bd052436a545ec2a154da5ca3fba8b6" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mathematics for Economics and Business &#8211; Ian Jacques</a><img src="//ir-uk.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=wearequrious-21&#038;l=am2&#038;o=2&#038;a=B079TL1S8P" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />  </p>
<p>2. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0198704372/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1634&#038;creative=6738&#038;creativeASIN=0198704372&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=wearequrious-21&#038;linkId=af73a649aa6d48972aa5ce7c93567a2a" rel="noopener noreferrer">Maths for Economics &#8211; Geoff Renshaw</a><img src="//ir-uk.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=wearequrious-21&#038;l=am2&#038;o=2&#038;a=0198704372" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /></p>
<p>For students that are more confident and have possibly studied Further maths at A-Level, the two books below are more concise and advanced. However, they are more comprehensive of the maths involved in Economics. The book by Chiang and Wainwright is a classic for Economics courses where it goes through the basics but presents the maths in a more formal way. A-level students may find the books below a bit trickier but getting exposed to how the mathematics is expressed will help you feel more comfortable at university.</p>
<p>1. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0071238239/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1634&#038;creative=6738&#038;creativeASIN=0071238239&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=wearequrious-21&#038;linkId=b29b15aac028d65674f7b34ae53dd47a" rel="noopener noreferrer">Fundamental Methods of Mathematical Economics &#8211; Alpha Chiang and Kevin Wainwright</a><img src="//ir-uk.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=wearequrious-21&#038;l=am2&#038;o=2&#038;a=0071238239" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> </p>

<p>The final book would be more suitable for postgraduate Economics students that already has an established background in maths:<br />

<h2 class="yellow">Which Economics books should I consider reading?</h2>
<p>There are numerous books on Economics out there. One useful way to decide which book to read is to separate them into two categories, which are interest-based books and academic-based books. <a name="explore"></a>Interest-based books are written to make the reader feel intrigued and provide a more casual/non-rigorous look into Economics (e.g. fun facts, interesting observations). Academic-based books are used to give a deeper understanding of the subject (e.g. books on Economic theory, university coursebooks, different schools of Economic thought). </p>
<p>As your personal statement should aim to be academic yet passionate, you may want to consider discussing an academic-based book in more depth, while briefly touching upon an interest-based book to show how your interest in the subject started. It is important to have a clear purpose when bringing up something you read, as you would want to demonstrate you have understood and explored the material fully. Below you can find the Amazon links to each book and their corresponding description on the product page so that you can decide whether it is in line with what you are looking for.</p>
<p><u style="font-size:130%">Interest-based Economics books to consider reading:</u></p>
<p><strong> General Economics </strong><br />
The books below tend to give an introduction into Economics and are great for casual reading. They include interesting insights into subject, and is good for those who have not studied the subject before. Note that Freakonomics and the Undercover Economist tend to be very popular among students, and that Freakonomics even had their own radio talk show at one time!</p>

<p><strong> Behavioural Economics </strong><br />
A relatively new field of Economics, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/oct/09/what-is-behavioural-economics-richard-thaler-nobel-prize">Behavioural Economics</a> tend to explore human psychology and decision making in the context of Economics and markets. It challenges the fundamental assumptions of Economics (e.g. people are rational and always aim to maximise their own utility) and can be very fascinating if that is up your alley.</p>

<p><strong> Game Theory </strong><br />
<a href="https://www.economicsonline.co.uk/Business_economics/Prisoners_dilemma.html">Game Theory</a> studies the interaction between two or more players (e.g. companies) to maximise their pay-offs (e.g. profits) in a certain situation. For example, a firm may decide to raise their prices to maximise revenue but can be worse-off if their competitor does the same thing, and hence keeps the price constant. Fundamentally, this is expressed mathematically using matrices &#8211; if you are interested in the more academic parts then consider the last book in the list below. If not, the first two will suffice and the movie &#8220;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Beautiful_Mind_(film)">A Beautiful Mind</a>&#8221; is related to the discovery of the Economic theory too.</p>

<p><strong> Introductory Economics Coursebooks </strong><br />
These Economics Coursebooks are common textbooks for most undergraduate Economics courses, depending on the course lecturer. They are well known by university students and tutors which helps build fundamental knowledge of Economics for students before they move onto something more advanced. Note that the difficulty is far above A-Level and you are not expected to be familiar with these, although it can give you a head start and some idea as to what you can expect to study in your Economics degree.</p>

<p><strong> Books by Great Economic Thinkers </strong><br />
These are the key works published by various Economists throughout the ages and helped shaped Economic theory to what they are today. With different ideas and philosophies, the first book summarises the different Economic schools of thought nicely. Whereas, you may be interested in reading the individual works of each Economic thinker in particular if you are interested in say Keynes or Adam Smith. </p>

</div>
<h2 class="yellow">Is it Necessary to Include a Book in my Personal Statement?</h2>
<p>As you can imagine, most students applying to an Economics degree will mention a book they have read. It is the one of the easiest ways to show interest in the subject. Including a book is obviously not a requirement, and most students neglect other opportunities to find out more about the subject. For example, this can range from participating in Economics related events, studying a non-school course on the subject, or paying close attention to Economics news. These activities are likely to make you stand out more, than writing about a popular Economics book like numerous others.<br />
<a name="include"></a><br />
Doing a range of activities signals proactiveness and understanding of the subject through different perspectives. It can also help confirm your subject interest. If you are struggling to think of specific activities, why not <a href="https://wearequrious.com/undergraduate-admissions/economics/#question">ask our advisor</a> for some suggestions? </p>
<h2 class="yellow">How Should I Include a Book in my Personal Statement?</h2>
<p>Including an Economics book in your personal statement can be difficult. You do not want to sound superficial or repeat what you have read. Instead, you should think about what you have gained from your reading. How has it triggered your interest to pursue the subject further? How does it connect with things you already learnt in Economics? What is your own perspective on what the writer mentioned? Expressing what you read in this way can help you stand out, as other students are unlikely to come up with the same answers. </p>
<p>Of course, all this is by no means easy. Having difficulty in discussing an Economics book you have read, or want a helpful eye on what you have written? Just reach out to our highly qualified <a href="https://wearequrious.com/undergraduate-admissions/economics/">Economics advisor</a>, and we can help your personal statement go even further.</p>

<p style="font-size:70%">
Please note that these entry requirements are for reference only, and can occasionally change despite our frequent updates. The actual offer you receive can vary depending on your academic profile, personal statement and LNAT results. Hence the importance of <a href="https://wearequrious.com/undergraduate-admissions/law">getting us to help</a> with your UCAS application and personal statement, to maximise your potential of getting offers from top universities!
</p>
<h3 class="yellow"> How to Use this Table </h3>
<p>You can sort this table to look at universities with the highest entry requirements. Note that for Cambridge, they do have a separate admissions test required instead of the LNAT. Whereas KCL &#038; York may offer interviews to candidates. Of course, it is very important to consider student satisfaction as well, where the <a href="https://www.hefce.ac.uk/lt/nss/">national average is 86%</a>. You should also look into the subject content for each course by clicking on the university name on the first column.<br />
<br />
As you will have 5 course options to apply for through UCAS, we suggest applying to 3 aspirational universities with high grades that you are aiming for; and 2 insurance universities with lower grade requirements to ensure you do can still read Law, even if you do not achieve your predicted grades. Having a mix of LNAT and non-LNAT universities is also something you should consider. Bear in mind that competition to get into a LLB Law programme is high, and there are only subtle differences in grade requirements for top universities. </p>

Please note that these entry requirements are for reference only, and can occasionally change despite our updates. The actual offer you receive can vary depending on your academic profile and personal statement. Hence the importance of <a href="https://wearequrious.com/undergraduate-admissions/economics">getting us to help</a> with your UCAS application and personal statement, to maximise your potential of getting offers from top universities!
</p>
<h3 class="yellow"> How to Use this Table </h3>
<p>You can sort this table to look at universities with the highest entry requirements. Note that for Oxbridge, they do have separate admissions tests required to receive a place. Of course, it is very important to consider student satisfaction as well, where the <a href="https://www.hefce.ac.uk/lt/nss/">national average is 84%</a>. You should also look into the subject content for each course by clicking on the university name on the first column.<br />
<br />
As you will have 5 course options to apply for through UCAS, we suggest applying to 3 aspirational universities with high grades that you are aiming for; and 2 insurance universities with lower grade requirements to ensure you do can still read Economics, even if you do not achieve your predicted grades. Bear in mind that competition to get into a BSc. Economics programme is high, and there are only subtle differences in grade requirements for top universities. Some courses are also unlikely to be for everyone as they may have higher mathematical elements to it, usually indicated with their entry requirements in mathematics.</p>
