So I want to apply to Oxford for PPE but I do not do maths a level so I'm not sure. I am doing English literature, History and economics and am predicted A*A*A in that order. I also do core maths (a level 3 qualification which is the equivalent of doing AS level maths) and an EPQ. I am hoping to get A or higher in both. Do I stand a chance in applying for PPE or should I just apply for something else? I know I have a shot at other unis but I'm unsure about oxford.

It is up to you, but personally, I’d suggest making an application and doing some maths prep by yourself. Good luck.

I wouldn't.
A* at Maths A level and barely 4 weeks in already thinking of dropping out of PPE because the maths is impossible.

If you are not confident about PPE, there are related courses such as History & Politics, Economics & Management or History & Economics.
It is up to you, but personally, I’d suggest making an application and doing some maths prep by yourself. Good luck.

Thanks for the advice! I am actually thinking history and economics would be more enjoyable for me personally. Do you think I would still struggle to get in due to not having maths? Thanks!

For Oxford, Maths is recommend for the History and Economics course:

It will be up to you, but I’d suggest going for straight History, History and Politics or History (Ancient and Modern).
If you are still keen on History and Economics, I would strongly recommended privately studying for Maths to get up to speed. It will not be a good feeling to be behind or struggle with your subjects because you did not study Maths.
