Hi anyone here who is doing Economics and Statistics currently in UCL? Would like a feedback about the course

I do stats and management, i do 5 of the 7 modules they do in first year... just to give the breakdown -

2x 15 credit maths modules - a step up from a level, if you're confident at maths A level (further maths DEFINITELY helps, atleast for first year!) this wont be too hard. Homework assignments count for 10% of final grade. 90% weighting exam in summer. The maths modules sort of lead off from eachother

2x 15 credit stats modules - First one is quite easy, second one is a bit harder (depending on how up to date you are). 10% group coursework for first one (intro), and 10% exam in february (further). 90% weighting in summer exams. The modules lead off from eachother

1x 15 credit programming in R - I personally found this difficult, some find it way easier. It's 75% coursework and 25% exam just before christmas.

They do a 30 credit (worth 2 normal modules) of a module called Economics 1(?). Which they basically say is maths in economics.

The last module is applied/world economy. But most people took applied from what ive heard, world economy is more essay based I think and applied in more maths-y?

I'd personally say go for it provided you make notes straight after lectures/same week atleast. You'll be up to date to the most part.
