Poly to UK Universities

[Seiiryuu]

Hello guys.

As the title states, I’m looking to study economics or statistics in UK. Money shouldn’t be a problem.

Pretty average student from SP, expected to graduate with a GPA of 3.7 from a related diploma. If I didn’t remember wrongly, scored A1 for both O’s EMath and AMath. A2 for EL.

Could I kindly request some recommendations on UK universities that are competent in both the economics and statistics fields? Let’s leave out OxBridge and LSE as I don’t meet the entry requirements...

Thanks and cheers.

I think many russell group unis would definitely take you.

Can consider The University of Edinburgh

Normally you would need to obtain a grade average (CGPA 3.6) or better in a relevant Polytechnic Diploma in order to be considered.

Others would be, Warwick (Econs or PPE), and ICL, but not sure your GPA can make it or not.

Found one:

KCL - maths with stats. reputable uni, central london, whats not to like? https://www.kcl.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/mathematics-with-statistics.aspx

TS, basically 3.7=AAA at a levels. Find courses with similar entry requirements.

There are loads of info you can refer to to narrow down the list of Uni you can shortlist. These info are by no means any bible.
ie

https://www.theguardian.com/education/ng-interactive/2017/may/16/university-league-tables-2018

another thing to note, are you considering any exemptions? better uni typically do not grant any exemptions. without exemptions with say Warwick are you willing to spend 3yrs @ ~GBP35K/yr or total of ~sgd$190k.

if money really isn't a problem I would go for the best uni your grades can get u regardless of country.
If so can try allow u to double major but cost is high. 4 yrs ~usd$250k

Cheaper options will be uni of Toronto or UBC but they cost ~cad$200k May get half a semester advanced standing lowering cost by cad$20-30k
