Good evening,

Choosing a university depends on what you want from your university experience. Every student wants something slightly different, such as lecture style or exam vs no exams. I always recommend deciding what you want from your university and writing a list. You can compare the universities to your own criteria; this means the university will be the best fit for you.

The Whatuni website is good for Find A Course, as they have a full comprehensive list with reviews. Simalry, the UCAS website has tips on Comparing undergraduate courses and unis, which is a great way to narrow down your options.

The Univeristy offers a range of Economics degrees, such as BA Economics with a Placement Year, and BSc Business Economics with a Placement Year. These may be similar to the course you are thinking of.

I hope this information helps. If you have any questions please let us know.

All the best,
Ella
BSc Ecology
