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

I am already at Bristol studying economics but I really dislike it and I am strongly considering not even finishing my first year and I want to apply to Nottingham. I got A*AB in Maths, Econ and Biology at A-level and 7A*s 3As at GCSE, do you think I have a good chance of getting in?

Sorry, I can't help but I'm curious. Why do you not like it there? Great grades by the way

I regret taking the finance side of the course and the Econ side of the course right now is terrible and I don't enjoy studying it that much. I am going to miss the people I have met here because some of them have honestly been so interesting but I just can't see myself here for three years.

What would you have studied instead?

I still want to do Econ but just at a different uni, I'm not liking the course here in all honesty.

Hi mate, I've got an unconditional offer from Nottingham to study BSc industrial economics. I was just wondering how is this degree viewed upon compared to the L100 Bsc Economics at Nottingham? In terms of job prospects, can you still get into IB with industrial eco?Also, this is my main question and it's to do with optional modules - in the first year you can take up to 10 credits worth of optional approved modules... can these be taken with the maths or economics department?and are there any industrial eco students in your lectures? I definitely want to go into the financial industry in the future.
Thanks a lot

I was wondering how many people you know got into Nottingham for economics with lower grades than A*AA, because I know a few people from my school that have gotten in with AAA and one with AAB for economics!!

Hey,

Does anyone know what kind of essays you have to do in the degree as I'm considering Economics Bsc at potentially Nottingham and how much is essays and how much is maths?

Thanks

AAB???? seriously? I need to get A*AA

Hey!

First time I've been on TSR for a whileeeeee been bogged down with the life of an investment banker haha so much fun...

If you love/hate essays you can structure it to do lots/few essay related modules it's not so much like an A level where you can't really decide what exams you do. I'd take a look at the module catalogue on the website and you can see the kinds of modules you can take. From memory if you like essays certain modules would be: Political Economics, Health Economics, any historical economy module (you can see a trend here).

Whereas the less essay based ones would include: Monetary Economics, Financial Economics, any econometric module (however essays may still be expected just perhaps fewer).

Hope this helps
