'permits the candidate to obtain the highest honours, since he has passed a formal examination in economics'
The ablative absolute ('examine sollemni in oeconomia absoluto') is here equivilent to a causal clause, i.e., to 'cum examen sollemne in oeconomia absolverit', etc. 'Admittit' would more usually be perfect ('admisit'). The gerundive construction is equivilent to a final clause (e.g., 'ut summos honores impetret', following the principal sequence of tenses after 'admittit').

admits as a candidate for top honours when a formal examination in economics has been passed
The translation proposed above makes the passing of the economics examination a condition to be satisfied in future. The word order suggests this to me. Alternatively, 'with the passing of a formal examination in economics admits him as a candidate for top honours'.
