    Depends on the degree and the university. Degrees like medicine, dentristry, accounting, etc you just study that subject. Doing 3 subjects is usually only in the ancient universities of Scotland (although you can do extra subjects in some other unis).

    Which uni/course?

    Then yep, you'll probably have to take 2 other subjects in addition to economics. It's just the modular system these universities have
