Economics degree with BTEC Business

So I am studying the National Extended Diploma and I am currently in year 13 applying for university courses. I am predicted D*D*D and also study core maths alongside it.

I have been studying Business since GCSE and have gotten bored of it. I want to do economics as there is a lot more prospects compared to a Business Management degree and is much more favoured by employers.

I know that an economics degree is really hard however I believe I can do well.

My question is that can I get in to an economics course at Uni of Nottingham with my BTEC? I have emailed them and they said that I could however there is only 250 spaces in the course and I am scared A-Levels students will be picked over me, although they said I won’t be at a disadvantage.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Ended up studying a computer science course and whilst the maths content is quite hard I’m coping well and loving the degree. Wish you the best of luck!

Hi I just completed my business btec level two and I am moving to level three but I would like to study economics as a degree in the uni,and I alternatively applied for economics first as a college course in Wakefield and my application is still being processed and my second choice is Leeds College for a level three business.
I just want to be on a safer side,should I choose economics a level course now at Wakefield or Business btec level three at Leeds College.Advice please.
