Economics at Trinity

jamierwilliams

Just out of interest, would chemistry be as 'respected' as Physics and Chemistry for Economics at Trinity?

Chemistry is a great A-Level to have. However since I'm more of an artsy person, I prefer the Maths, Further Maths, Economics and History combination!

Yeh History would balance out all that maths.

Big up History!

Politics is more essay based than history if you're interested. Especially at A2.

I don't see why not. I completed a 5th A Level (French) in Yr 12. Its fairly essay based...at least my school made it so...but at the same time it wasn't overly time-consuming

My general advice to all future applicants is pursue as challenging a subject combination as possible (provided that you are confident of getting As at the end of the course.) With competition as strong as it appears to be at Trinity, it will be sure to impress. Also, it will hopefully prepare you for the rigors of University.

Good Choice!

If you would like to take a look at what my interviews were like, here's my profile.

(sorry about the last paragraph being repeated...I had typed up something similar for my head of Sxith Form as advice for future applicants and I copied and pasted twice :redface:

Well, I am one of those lurkers.

I haven't posted because my offer is from St John's. Nevertheless maybe somebody can answer my question: I am looking for Part I course outline, can anybody tell me if there is a website I can get it?

Thanks in advance

I believe it's only available from within Cambridge.

Hack in or ask someone nice to send the files from the page to you.

Thanks

Hey...

...following from a question posed on another thread...

Which calulators are Economists allowed to use at Cambridge? Doesn't the university not allow you to use certain brands?

Thanks
