Right considering studying economics at university next year..What's the difference in economics as taught as part of a BA or taught as part of a Bsc?Is that the Bsc is more geared towards econometrics?:confused:

As far as I can tell, it's just the case that some universities prefer to award BA's and some prefer to award Bsc's, but there's not much substantive difference. Universities usually have course outlines in their prospectus' so you should be able to tell from that (or you could post the course outlines here and someone will be able to tell you).

Which unis are you looking at? How rigorous do you want the Maths to be?
