Unless they specify those subjects in their requirements, then you will not be at a disadvantage. By no means all schools offer those subjects at A level.
But i guess is very unlikely for me to get in with only B.business as the stronghold...what did you apply for? Im kinda lost im pressured by my religion not ti go to uni...but im 100% sure i will!!

Then i have an offer in Nursing but dont wanna take thay course...

You don't need A-level (or BTEC) Business to do a Marketing degree
e.g. https://www1.bournemouth.ac.uk/study/courses/bsc-hons-marketing
But it will be the same at most (all?) other universities

And you don't need A-level (or BTEC) Sociology to do a Sociology degree
e.g. https://www1.bournemouth.ac.uk/study/courses/ba-hons-sociology
It will be the same at most (all?) other universities

The same will apply to a joint honours course.

What grades do you expect to get?

So you are waiting for your A-level grades next month? Which universities are you considering?

Have you started your UCAS application yet?
