They are heavily maths based (in latter years) and if you are good at maths then you will do really well.

I don't know about economics.  I think there's still reasonably a bit of writing in economics.

Well to be more precise, I was talking more about mathematical economics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_economics#Econometrics) in fact almost all of mathematical economics is based on statistics which is the econometrics branch of study - Heavily mathematics intensive. You will be surprised at some of the mathematical tools used in economics, even topics such as graph theory in pure mathematics are utilised to a far extent. Although ofcourse there are writing in economics, afterall it is a social science and not a pure one, but the mathematical aspects of it are far more important in order to understand the concepts.

you'll need it for management!!

laynie:
marketing and management you will need it.

schmalex:
In economics you have to write quite a bit but your not judged on how WELL you write at all, you can get full marks and have a pretty poor grasp of English. Also, it isn't essay style at all, so I wouldn't worry about economics.

methodsman:
Regardless of the major, the two killer essay subjects are Management (~1000 words) and Business Law (3000 word assignment), get them out of the way in first year and life should be great! (unless you choose to major in these)
