Our support is suitable for students at different stages of the economics application process, including:
Our economics admissions support typically includes:
Initial Consultation & Assessment: A detailed review of academic profile, subject choices, predicted grades, and admissions timeline.
University & Course Strategy: Guidance on selecting the right combination of ambitious and realistic universities, based on entry requirements and competitiveness.
Admissions Test Preparation: Support for quantitative admissions tests such as the TMUA, where required, including guidance on test format, mathematical reasoning, problem-solving approach, and preparation planning.
Application Structuring: Support in shaping a clear and coherent academic narrative, ensuring all elements of the application align with the chosen course.
Personal Statement Development: Structured guidance to help students demonstrate genuine engagement with economics, analytical thinking, and subject depth.
Super-Curricular Guidance: Advice on reading, research, and wider academic activities that strengthen an application beyond the classroom.
For students applying to universities that require an admissions test, strong preparation can make an important difference.
Economics applicants are increasingly expected to show not only strong academic performance at school, but also the mathematical reasoning and problem-solving ability needed for a highly quantitative degree.
Our consultants support students preparing for tests such as the TMUA, helping them understand the format of the assessment, identify areas for improvement, and build a structured preparation plan. We focus on both technical confidence and exam approach, so that students are better prepared to perform under timed conditions.
This support is particularly valuable for applicants targeting highly selective economics courses at universities such as Cambridge, LSE, UCL, and Warwick, where admissions tests now form an important part of the application process for many students.
