Hi, I’ve got offers to study Econ & Management at Oxford and Economics at LSE, but I’m having trouble deciding between the two.
I don’t take any essay subjects at the moment so I’m very out of practice in that respect.
I also don’t take economics A-level so I’m worried I will struggle and lag behind everyone else (especially as I’ve heard the Oxford workload is very intensive)
Any advice on either would be much appreciated![]()

The workload is greater for E&M but that would be expected of a joint degree, although Oxford is more intense there is a much better support network with the tutorials, if you feel like you could spend three years chatting to your interviewers you had at your college about E&M then it's the right course for you. In terms of being able to write essays, everyone's ability to write essays improves by leaps and bounds throughout their time in university so it shouldn't be a concern, your tutors want you to succeed and they will push you into improving.
I also have an offer for E&M at Oxford so I may be biased but I would pick Oxford, even if it is more intense after the three years you may be exhausted but you will walk out knowing you've given it your all. -

Can I just ask your A Level Predictions and GCSE results and amount of extra reading done etc... as I am applying to E&M this year.

LSE has one of the poorest student satisfaction rates for teaching in the country and one of the lowest TEF teaching quality ratings of the top unis. whereas teaching at oxbridge is unchallenged. surely a deal-breaker?
