LSE BSc in Economics, Finance or Management - IB Math level

What IB math level is required to enter any of these courses at LSE I was having a hard time understanding whether or not I have to do Maths AA HL or if I could simply continue doing Math AA SL to apply to any of these?

thank you in advance.

Check their course pages. For Economics, Finance, Management, or Accounting and Finance, HL AA will be necessary. In fact I switched from IB to A Levels because I hadn't realised that this was the case for A&F or Management before picking my IB subjects.

Yes thank you but what do they mean by Math AA (HL) preferred/desirable (but both streams considered), by streams is it referring to Math AI HL or Math AA SL.

Thank you once again in advance

By streams they refer to IB MAA or MAI. SL/HL is to do with depth and breadth of the subject. You will need HL MAA or HL MAI for LSE. I suspect they may well prefer MAA, but officially both streams will be considered.

Hello, I do not see anywhere that you require MAA for either Management or Finance. You do require Maths HL, either stream, that is my understanding, so you should be fine with MAI HL. If there is a preference for MAA, in the case of LSE, it is undisclosed, unless I am missing something, which perhaps I am.
