hI GUYS, PLEASE HELP ME OUT HERE, IM REALLY MESS'D
Im an alevels student (roots) and will be applying for a BSc Economics. I'm choosing BSc Economics over BA economics coz i'm planning on entering the financial-service field. The thing is i have'nt taken maths (my subjects are accounting, economics,sociology and english...not G.P). Right now i'm in AS level (first year) and will be appearing this may/june. Do you think taking maths is important for my bsc-economics? I'm applying to unis in Europe and USA. I actually want to take maths, do you think its possible now? i'm planning on taking maths in A2. HELPME OUT PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Yes you need Mathematics to get admission in a well reputed university. Since, Accounting is not seen as a mathematics based subject (Strange I know!) infact it is a blacklisted in few UK universities. Sociology and Economics are essay based subjects. And English Language/or G.P is pretty useless (although required) in terms of credits. In short, it is compulsory to give A level Maths (you can drop Economics but I wont recommend that) for Bsc Economics. Moreover, top-notch universites including UCL and LSE in UK go as far as demanding an A* in AL maths for Bsc Economics.
