Good universities for economics that don’t require maths or FM A-Level?

Hi all!
just started year 12 and thinking about taking an economics degree of some sorts but I’m not sure which one yet. What universities have good economics courses but don’t require maths or FM at A-Level? I also got a 6 in maths GCSE (1 mark off a 7) if that is relevant.
Thanks in advance!!

Hello! @Jibd 🙂
It's great you're considering studying economics at university!
UEA's Bsc Economics course doesn't specify which a levels you take, so you can apply without A Level maths.
Obviously having maths a level or economics related subjects would help, but it's not necessary as you will cover the maths needed in your first year!
UEA's Economics school is well respected and it has been ranked in the top 20 for Economics in The Guardian University Guide 2023.
As well as the academic benefits, UEA has a beautiful campus with lots of green spaces, and a fantastic sportspark all of which are close to Norwich's city centre.
I hope this helps, if you have any questions about UEA or anything else, please don't hesitate to ask!
