The employment opportunities when graduating with a joint honours degree are far-reaching — especially in globally recognised disciplines like economics and geography.
The breadth of knowledge, experience and skills you’ll learn in teamwork, commercial awareness, report-writing, numerical analysis, IT expertise and investigation are widely transferable and desirable to a whole host of employers.
A-level: AAA preferably including Geography
If Geography is not included, we would expect two A-levels from History, English, Economics, Sociology, a modern language, Psychology, Mathematics and Biology. The offer excludes A-Level General Studies or Critical Thinking.
Extended Project Qualification (EPQ): We recognise the value of this qualification and the effort and skills required to undertake it, where an applicant is taking the EPQ this may attract an alternative offer in addition to the standard offer. The EPQ taken with A-Levels, for example, could be AAB with an A in the EPQ.
GCSE: Mathematics at grade A (7) or above, and English at grade B (6) or above, or an equivalent English language and Mathematics qualification. We will accept Level 2 Functional Skills English in lieu of GCSE English.
20 Hours of Work permit weekly for international students.
