Does the dept. of economic history send out all offers for their courses together? Or is it course by course, i.e. waves of Economic History, another wave of Economics and Economic History, etc.

What subjects do you take at A level and predicted grades?

Does anyone actually have 50 percent economic history, and even if not what topics did you talk about in PS. Did you also include your opinions on issues?

Reply 14

And should we expect competition and offer rates to be even lower this year than previous years, or will they likely increase the number of spaces as well for Economics and Economic History at LSE?

Economics a lot of people talk about i presume rather than economic history? Do we expect offer rate to be slightly higher this year?
