Economics at Warwick

warwick economics is renowned as one of the best economics departments in the country

i study ppe but major in economics

its sick

time of my life

I could either do a degree in ppe or economics at warwick what should i go for.

Whats better in your opinion

depends entirely on your preferences

like statistics and maths? either degrees are good. ppe can do all the same econometrics/mathematical economics modules as the economics students. the economics students have to do the harder ones whereas ppe students can do the easier ones

prefer reading and writing? ppe has more variety for people who like phil&pol

degree prestige? economics sounds better than ppe but that's probably not a major difference

uno once in uni is it possible to switch or not

also ive been told people who graduate from economics is targeted by companies but the thing is uno how theres so many other top unis out there like oxbridge, lse and so on wont it be really hard to get a good job with economics?

thanks

they are in two different departments so i don't think its common, easy or advisable to switch

no that's a bad way of thinking of it. there are substantially more 'good' jobs available than there are economics graduates. since economics is a good degree, it doesn't make it hard to get a good job just because there are lots of economics courses

Thanks a lot

the onnly thing stopping me going to economics is that my whole family says theres hardly any economics related jobs and their really hard to get into so im not sure what to do

your family is misinformed lol

economics is unquestionably one of the most employable degrees

really but i dont get it


like uno how a lot of economics graduate goes into banking fields couldnt that all be done by like robots in the future and stuff?

is university for you

I haven't thought about it, but I think it is relatively easy as long as you speak your personal tutors etc about it.
I think you need to get a certain average either in your first, second or both to be able to.

If you're debating Warwick, then Maths, MORSE, MathStat, Economics, PPE, MathPhys, Physics, CompSci in my opinion are the strongest which will let you have a bright future. But obvs there are others and not only restricted. Getting a job is entirely on the candidate themselves.
I just finished 1st year Economics at Warwick and it is strong at Warwick. Just do a degree you enjoy.
