CURRENT STUDENT - Economics at uni of nottingham - ask me something.

I am a current student at the University of Nottingham and I have just finished my first year. I remember when I was applying for university I would stalk TSR and wish there was a current student to ask questions about the course, the uni etc, so if anyone who is applying here for this course or thinking about it has any questions, FIRE AWAY.

Basically I need your guidance on whether to apply to Notts for your course as I'm uncertain. I collected my AS results and got AAAB with the B in maths unfortunately. It was quite high and so i'll retake a module to get it to an A grade. But I was wondering if I'm still in with a good chance of getting in to read Economics at Nottingham.

Hi, do they introduce you the economic course such as the basics? I am not doing Economics A-level but Math, Chemistry and D&T PD. Also what is Economics like, other than the maths?

I'd say you'd be in with a good chance especially if you can get at least one of the three A's predicted as an A* and the B in maths predicted as an A then you'd be applying with A*AA and I think you'd have a great chance - providing you have a strong personal statement.

Thanks so much. Would you say that it's wise to apply for a joint honours course like economics and geography at another university with regards to the way the statement is written or would it ruin my chances as I would focus on aspects of human geography more when I should be focusing on economics. This is something I'm looking to do at other unis.

Hi, not sure if this had been asked before, but how much do they look at your GCSE results? And if I do really well at A level, could I work past them?

As Im someone who hasn't done Economics at A-level, do they teach you how to structure your essay questions at uni? This is one of things I am worried about as the only sort of writing courses I am doing is a little bit in Chemistry and a fair bit in D&T.
Also, are essays hard to write? And are there people in your year who haven't done Economics at A-level. Thank you in advance

hello is there a list of books to buy before starting the course or they give it to us once we get there. Can we find them online?

Hi, congratulations on your graduation. I am starting the Economics BA/BSc at Nottingham in a couple of weeks. I only did Maths up to AS Level and was wondering whether I would be able to cope with the work load or if it best to start doing some revision now. Also, which modules would you recommend choosing which are less maths orientated and more essay based.

Hi

I would like to ask if you had stayed at Willoughby Hall or have friends who stayed there. I am allocated to a single study room type in this hall and am a little apprehensive.

AAAA at AS level in Maths, Geography, Economics and History, UMS of 269/300 and 191/200 for the first two respectively, dropping History, 6A*, 4A, 1C at GCSE - what do you reckon my chances of getting an offer from Notts for Economics are please? And also would I be more likely to get an A*AA offer or an AAA offer? Thanks
