Bristol University - Msc Economics and Finance
Hi, I am thinking of applying to Bristol for economics and finance course. I do Maths, Buisness, Psychology. I am predicted an A* in maths and two As in the others. I have 2 very strong work experiences and am in the economics society at my school. My personal statemnt is also very strong. My top 5 gcses are from grade 9 to 6 including maths and english. Is it worth applying

The thread title refers to "Msc Economics and Finance".
Bristol do offer "MSc Economics and Finance" -- but as a postgradate course (i.e. you would already need to have a degree to apply): https://www.bristol.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/taught/msc-economics-and-finance/
They offer "BSc Economics and Finance" as an undergraduate course -- https://www.bristol.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/2026/economics/bsc-economics-and-finance/ -- the standard A-level offer for which is shown on that page as "AAA including Mathematics"

Would it be worth applying with my profile?

For the BSc, I can't see why not -- your predicted grades exceed the standard offer (though that doesn't guarantee an offer). The admissions statement for the programme says this:
"We do not normally consider the personal statement and reference. However, if a large number of applicants have the same academic score and cannot be otherwise differentiated, we may use the personal statement to help make final decisions"
... and goes on to details what they look for in the personal statement and reference if they do end up considering them.
For the MSc, you'd need to already have a degree.
