Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Will i be disadvantaged for graduate Economics (Masters/PHD)?

hey guys, i'm currently about to enter my final year studying Maths and Econ at LSE. I really enjoyed economics and want to pursue a masters/phd in it.

However, due to the nature of my degree, it means that i will be taking 50/50 maths and econ. So will i be at a disadvantage when competing with other candidates who do straight Econ (and take 100% econ)?

I'm looking to apply to top econ programs in the UK oxbridge/lse etc.

I doubt it. You are studying at one of the top unis in the uk anyway. Best thing to do is to call the potential uni's admissions team, if they don't know they will put you through to someone who does and you will have a definitive answer!
Good luck!
