Good afternoon,

The University of Reading offers an ambassador scheme, allowing prospective students to connect with current students through messaging; more information can be found here. I believe there is an economics ambassador who you can ask whether they think taking politics is worth it

At the univerity of reading there are two reated degrees, there is BA International Relations and Economics and BA Politics and Economics . If you review the individual entry criteria, you will see which subjects are core subjects that you will need to fulfil.

For BA Politics and Economics, you require a BBB, and there is no exact A-levels you have to take. Therefore, I would suggest you take the A level you know you will do well in, to make sure you get the highest grades you can. Also, choose the course you will enjoy the most.

All the best,
