This is anecdotal rather than based on research but I
gather that the LSE are still reluctant to accept
students onto Economics degree courses if they have A
Level Business Studies.
We usually have one ot two a year studying both
subjects and they usually go on to study a Business
related subject at University - without any entry
problems.
I would imagine that the problems might occur if they
wanted to study Economics at a more 'prestigious'
place - but again I'd be glad to have this put right
by someone who has some hard facts!
