Are there particular modules you think are really useful you’d only be able to take on MORSE that you wouldn’t if you were doing maths&stats at oxford?
The only modules you can’t do at Oxford are the Economics ones. I hear it’s relatively easy to switch into Economics from Maths, but maybe it would be good to be able to try it out earlier?
I took economics courses during my degree and I don’t think they were particularly helpful for pursuing impactful paths (not that they were unhelpful, it’s just that if I really needed to know the content for some reason, I could have picked it up elsewhere). This is true for all my courses in general.
Unless I am missing something, the main reason to insist on taking more econ classes would be if you want to pursue a further degree such as a master’s degree in something econ related. Or if you know you are going to learn econ anyway and doing a course in it instead of something else less directly relevant and learning econ on the side would save time. If you don’t feel pretty motivated to learn econ anyway, I don’t think the econ thing should be a strong consideration in favour of MORSE.
Well I’m currently taking Economics A-level and I do find it really interesting so I can see myself pursuing economics in the future, but I don’t plan on it specifically. That’s why I thought it might be good to be able to do a bit of it to know whether to do it at masters? Maybe the A-level is enough though
