Predicted grades for economics

I understand that economics is a very competitive course but my predicted grades at A*AB so far. I plan to increase these by my November mock exams but I would like to know what universities (if any) are willing to accept me with my grades

There will be loads but they might not be top ones or London ones. Have a look at the entry requirements for each university and that will tell you who will within ours. Dont be so lazy expecting others to do your research. This information is readily available.


you don’t need to be rude about it, i asked because i wanted opinions from actual students. in the same position as me. take your negative energy somewhere else please

Hello, Coventry University Student Ambassador here!

Coventry University has a very reasonable requirement standard for Economics, of BBB! You can find more information here: https://www.coventry.ac.uk/course-structure/ug/fbl/economics-bsc-hons/
Otherwise, most of the Russel Group universities will accept AAA-AAB for studying Economics, have a look at some of these universities:

1.

University of Birmingham (A*AA-AAA)

2.

University of Exeter (A*AA-AAA)

3.

University of Sheffield (AAB)

4.

University of Leeds (AAA)

5.

University of Southampton (AAB)

If you plan to improve your grades, these would be great for you.

Hope this helps,
Bianca

In addition to the ones listed above, Lancaster is also a very good uni - in the top ten in some rankings - but only requires AAB for Economics. There are plenty of very good options, but of course lots more will open up to you if you get that B up to an A.
