MORSE students EPQ essay titles

Hi was just wondering what any MORSE or maths students did for their EPQ essay titles as I am struggling. I've had one idea which is: how does economic decline affect depression (psychological) in the Labour Force?

I know this links more with psychology, but it was the only question i could think of that i would be genuinely be interested in.

I am an AS student taking: Maths, Further Maths, Economics and Psychology. I am thinking of dropping Psychology for A2. My main aim is to get into Warwick to do MORSE.
Good choice (MORSE)!
To be honest, the department is unlikely to be that bothered about your EPQ.
I did one on the calculus of variations, which was quite useful for me personally, but I wouldn't say it improved my chances of getting in for MORSE much at all.
To get a place, my best advice to you is to just make sure you get A* grades in maths, further maths and one other (excluding general studies and critical thinking).
You may also want to look at the incentives that are in place for candidates who do very well in STEP/AEA, as these can be quite generous!

One other thing: economics at university is probably fairly similar in year 1 (apart from there is more maths), but from year 2 onwards it becomes much more abstract as MORSE people focus on mathematical economics rather than the cliché micro/macro combination. Though weirdly enough there is not much focus on econometrics in MORSE, unless you want to specialise in that later on (which you can do).

Totally agree with the above. I'm currently doing MORSE and saying you're doing Step is certainly more impressive. I got an A* in my first year which made it a very smooth ride second year. Work as hard as you can, get the A* and welcome to Warwick
