Economics in UK Universities
Your QuestionI want to study Economics, but I am only a three year university student, can I apply for the course?
The Answer
You need to study a one year Pre-Masters course first. Many Pre-Masters courses do not allow students to study a Masters degree in Economics. But if your 3 year diploma was in Economics then you can apply to the following:
1. UEA: University of East Anglia. Apply for their new Pre-Masters course www.uea.ac.uk/into
2. Queen Mary, University of London: Apply for their Pre-Masters www.qmul.ac.uk
3. Northumbria: Apply for the final year of a bachelor degree in Economics, then you can study your one year Masters degree - so you'll get both a UK Bachelors and Masters degree. www.northumbria.ac.uk
4. Newcastle: You must first apply for a Masters degree and then if you are successful, you can apply for the Pre-Masters programme. In pratcice this is a big hassle and most students choose another university. www.newcastle.ac.uk
