Economics at Bristol

I was wondering whether I could get an offer from Bristol for economics if my predicted grades were one off the entry requirement. I also have an extenuating circumstance. Do you think it's worth applying?

Apply for a softer course within the EFIM school, like economics and management, then switch over once you've got in. It's dead easy to do.

Is economics and management easier to get into then straight economics? Also can I use my economics personal statement for it?

I would say economics and management is a softer course - quite a few of the people who couldn't hack straight economics have ended up on this course.

I think you can probably use an economics statement for it, particularly as first year is essentially just economics. Maybe throw in why you find management interesting briefly.

You only get one personal statement. I'd just make a very brief reference to management and why you're interested.

Alright I will do and do you know if employers value economics and management the same as straight economics?

I don't think many people will be able to tell the difference or even care if they knew.
