Economics with Foundation, BSc Hons FullTime

I love it, I have to say. I think they changed the teaching style this year, or so i was told. They do a reverse teaching method where they give you work beforehand to prepare so the actual lesson is revision, and this means it stays in your mind better. I would say they teach very well. They teach parts of maths, business and a bit of economics. The only issue I have is that some of the modules are not that related to economics, like some of the maths that they teach is a mix of a bit of GCSE maths, A level maths and further maths A level, which is non-specific to economics, but it is still very helpful. There is also a module with mostly business, it is also very helpful, but since I am not familiar with economics, I thought that they could have that and then also add features of economics a level in it. There is another module that uses economics tho. They only generalise the others because our classes are mixed with other courses, like accounting finance, computer science, business
