Hi, I'm a first year A-Level student and I'm thinking about doing an economics degree. However after looking on UCAS I've discovered that most courses require A-Level mathematics. The problem is I'm not taking that course. I'm doing Economics, Geography, Statistics and English Language. Its most likely to late too pick up another course now, so I'm not sure what to do, any ideas guys?

Could always do a foundation year, loads of unis offer it and it basically consists of a year catching up with everything you would have needed at a-level before gaining guaranteed entry to the full course. It's only a year extra so you should definitely consider it.

AS maths would definitely put you in a better position than no maths at all, if you wanted to try picking up the AS in year 13

Usually, yes, but with maths it can be easier than other subjects. This could just be my bias, but if you're willing to put the effort in, then you should be okay with the maths, as most schools have only just started to finish C1, which is basically an extension of GCSE. What was your GCSE maths grade?

Thanks for your help by the way.

I got a grade A, Edexcel syllabus, do you reckon this will be okay? If so, I might see if I can do the course at college.
