British universities and calculus/math?

[muon]

So many UWE students we're foreigners coming to get a 'British education' paying 8 grand a year. The place is a joke and anyone reading this stay well away. I assumed a degree in Economics was fairly universal, at least more so than this. I'll catch up though since I'm working 4 times harder than anyone else plus have a personal tutor.

If you can afford it, do it over 2 years with your first year doing the Maths options. If you want to do a phd that would be very useful.

edit:

Ask some of your lecturers/tutors what they think.

edit2:

Turns out it is a 2 year course!

No course is universal, in fact, the closest you'll get to a universal course is medicine - and even that can vary massively University to University.

Some are more universal than others.

Economics is offered by almost every university going. The smaller subset of universities offering say Physics is definitely much better than that of Economics.

Something like Computer Science is as bad as Economics in terms of variance. Glorified IT courses in a lot of places.
