This exactly the sort of question to ask at Uni Open Days.

Hi there,

It's great to hear you're interested in applying to study PPE at Royal Holloway.

In answer to your question, I would recommend contacting our Department of Economic directly (as PPE sits under this department), who should be able to give you a clearer idea of the mathematics element of the Economic content. Their email is [email protected]

Alongside this, you may find it helpful to speak to the department directly at a subject talk at one of our upcoming events:

•

Online Open Day - 30 October

•

November in-person Open Day - 23 November

I hope this is helpful.

Best wishes,
Royal Holloway, University of London

At some unis PPE is offered as either a BSc or BA, in most cases the BSc route has a more mathematical basis in economics and you will do most likely do some core modules on maths statistics and probability. However if you do a BA route you won't have as much maths and you will have other modules instead. I would recommend looking at institutions that offer both so then you can pick the one you want.
