    Economics or Law??????
    Hi everyone, i will be applying to university once i get my AS grades this year for Law, Economics and Geography and my A2 Maths and i can't decide between law or economics. I Thought i would pick which ever i get the best grade in but i strongly think that i achieved the same in both.

    Basically im looking for anyone who maybe has had the same discion to make or anyone who can offer me some advice.

    Forget about grades. Which one do you enjoy the most? But remember that the university courses of both differ quite a lot from the A-Level.

    Are you considereing doing economics at uni, if so, you'd probably want to stick with it. Law isn't essential for a law degree, so that might be worth dropping. Also law is considered as more of a 'soft' subject than economics, see this list from a cambridge college :http://www.trin.cam.ac.uk/index.php?pageid=604 so economics would probably be better regarded.

    At the end of the day, you want to get the best results you can, so go for the subject you're best at or you enjoy the most
