Which Economics course is most mathematical?

I think I'd really benefit from a more mathematical degree rather than an essay based economics degree. Which unis have the most mathematical economics degrees?

LSE, Warwick, UCL and Cambridge, maybe Bristol and Bath too?

I think LSE and Warwick stand out among those as especially mathematical.

Also any joint honours with maths degrees.

The BSc at Manchester is very heavily mathematical. Leeds does a similar thing.

I didn't expect Leeds Economics to be very mathematical as it does not even require A-level maths. I believe just a 7 in GCSE maths is required.

Most RG universities ave very Mathematical courses hence why they ask for A level Maths. LSE is probably the most mathematical. Have a look through the course content in detail for the cases you are interested in and which ask for grade A or A* A level Maths.
