Economics at Bristol

Hey,

I've got a joint honours offer for Economics + Politics Bsc and I've got a question for any current/ex students of Economics at Bristol about the difficulty of the maths in the Economics modules; would you say that not having done Further Maths or Economics at A-Level would put you at a disadvantage compared to the other students on the course? I've heard a lot about how the Maths content of the course at Bristol is amongst the hardest in the UK , and they even said on the open day that some joint honours students struggle with that side of the course.

Thanks!

They will most likely (as other unis do), go through the maths content, but very quickly. As in, a topic that would be covered in a couple of weeks would be covered in a few hours.

Do you guys want my advice? Just buy the further maths books over the summer holiday and go through it at your own pace. You have like 2-3 months (depending on when Uni starts).

AS and A2 further maths? Or just AS? (I'm hoping you say just AS)
