if you go on the ucas site, you can search economics in the course search bit and tick the extra box so it just comes up with the unis that offer economics on extra.

You can search here: http://search.ucas.co.uk/cgi-bin/hsrun/search/search/search.hjx;start=search.HsSearch.run?y=2006

Be sure to CHECK the "extra courses only" box.

Well they may do that to attract more applicants. Part of the reason they went into extra is because they were under-subscribed.

so that means that it is more likely u will get in .. hehe meaning not more ppl will apply to the course ! Does that mean that the course is not very well recognised?

No, you can't make such conclusions.

It's just been under-subscribed to for a multitude of reasons, or perhaps the university hasn't found the applicants it desires.
