Hey @Altab

Land Economy. I love it!

You probably already know, but we have a really cool BA Economy & Geography degree. Why? Because it's actually a joint degree with SOAS and Kings College! So you'll be getting the best of both worlds! With Geography you can specialise in things like human geography or in physical geography etc. or take modules in both! For Economics you'll learn a ‘heterodox’ approach to economic analysis, including Marxist, feminist, and Keynesian perspectives. When you leave SOAS you'll be able to attack real world issues, address policy concerns and understand the relationship between the environment and the economy.

Have you had a chance to visit SOAS yet?

Hey, not yet. I received my acknowledgement recently and need to send my 'Undergraduate Admissions Form'. What about you?

No, me neither. I've sent my SAQ and data protection thing, but what's the undergraduate admissions form..?

Last year I got A - Economics, A - Geography, A - Chemistry and a C in maths, which was very close to a C and my teacher was in his last year of teaching and was crap. I have continued with all 4 A-levels

Praying the interview goes well

I really enjoyed it, but who knows :tongue:

the first asked me about topics based on an essay I sent in, and the second asked questions based on an article to do with the housing market.
How was your interview??
