"Is it true that economics A-level is preferred over business studies A-level? Which subject is better out of these two and why?"

asked by Waqaar Azeem

I assume you mean which subject universities prefer? If you are considering studying economics at University, have a look at requirements for the University - you may be surprised to find that many don't have economics A-Level as a pre-requisite.

Economics and Business studies will often overlap in the subjects covered with economics using more mathematical techniques than Business studies. Business studies tends to be a mix of accounting, finance, economics, marketing and organisational behaviour whereas economics is concerned with how society sets about meeting people's demands for things they want to consume.

It depends on who you speak to as to which one is considered the 'best', however, economics is often considered to have more academic rigour.
