Why is studying Economics with Business Studies at A-Level (seperate) a bad idea?

Course content are too similar.

They are practically the same, however Business studies is less respected by most Universities for most courses.
So in all fairness Economics > Business Studies.

What ma2k5 said + studying business studies by itself (when economics is available) is a bad idea.

This only applies to A-Levels? For example, if someone did Business Studies GCSE then Economics A-Level it would be fine you think?

Yes that would be fine, but Economics A-Level > Business Studies A-Level.

Economics is generally a better subject to do, but still Business Studies encompasses Economics but would surely be mostly based around Economics... so it seems pretty pointless.

My brother's only doing Business Studies. He's gonna have a pathetic life.

there's loads of people in my Economics class who do Accounting, Business AND Economics :s-smilie:

I guess the overlap is handy, but it's hardly a diverse range of A levels.

I am currently doing Maths, Economics, French and Business Studies. As long as your other subjects are fairly academic then there shouldnt be a problem. Generally the better universities (Russell Group) will accept one 'soft' subject a-level.
Oh and the course we do at my school for Economics and Business are completely different. There is no overlap at all.

Neither are Maths, Phys, Chem and Bio yet universities respect them.

Those 3 subjects are a lot more respected than Business and Accounting.

How are they not diverse?

Accounting, Economics, Business - you typically learn about all of them in any Eco/Acc or Business degree. I don't remember learning about pythagoras in my Chemistry A level :rolleyes:
