Maths is essential for a lot of straight econ courses, and some people will also take further maths as it is also useful (but not required). English literature is a strong subject, so maths, econ and english look good. But I would advise against accounting and media (unless you really love them) as they are quite narrow subjects, and you’ll find some unis generally don’t look highly on them (eg have a look at LSE’s ‘non preferred subjects’). If you want to take up a fourth, you could consider a science or humanity like geo or phys? As they would strengthen your application more than accounting/media. If you have a clear idea of what you want, and you’d be fine getting in with the subjects you listed above, then you should be ok, but your plans may change so it’s best to take subjects which can keep doors open.
