UCL History Politics and Economics
I just have one quick question. In the UCL website's requirements category for the HPE course undergraduate they said "any three subjects from maths, economics, politics, and history" for Alevel requirements right? but I've only done Econ from that list. meaning I can't get in yeah? they won't even consider me ig. I want to get into IB but there's no single Econ course which doesn't ask for maths as Alevel subject requirement. smh. Thank you for listening me vent tho. Happy new years guys!

The qualifying word regarding those subjects is "preferred", but only having one of them is a significant handicap.
You're wrong about all economics degrees requiring maths. You need to dig a bit further; look particularly at BA courses rather than those that are BSc.

Following up from what @ageshallnot wrote: Bristol, for example, offer both BSc Economics and BA Economics.
Bristol's standard A-level BSc entry requirements are "A*AA including Mathematics"; but the standard BA entry requirements are "A*AA" with no mention of subject (but you will need to have "7 or A in GCSE Mathematics or equivalent").
