Not sure what to do for my degree

Hello, guys. I am currently doing A Level and the subjects that I am taking is Physics, Chemistry, Economics and Maths. I'll be sitting for my AS exam soon in May/June.

However, I am still unsure on what I should consider for my degree. I thought about getting a degree in Maths but when I looked up about it, all the info just made me to lose my interest.

Second, I might wanna do a degree in Chemistry or English. I have always loved English but that's like my last option.

Can y'all help me out here on what I should consider, please?
I'm pretty sure you can't do English at University without English Lit/combined at a level and if they do, you'll be at a big disadvantage because you don't have a single essay based subject.
Chemistry is a better option given your choice of a levels.

Oh, that's kinda disappointing. Well, are there any uni recommendations for Chemistry?

I don't know if you're shopping at this end of the market, but here's an example degree for the undecided:

You could do Medicine if your grades are good enough and there's not a specific biology requirement. Chemistry alone is good. There's so many choices. Economics could even be an option.

I am not interested in Medicine. Thank you so much for your suggestions :smile:
I do maths, physics and economics too, plus f math. I just applied for economics and politics. It could be a suggestion.

Apply for one of these:

It'll give you a better idea of what is involved (and might direct you to something completely different).

I'm still waiting on offers for 2017 entry 😆 but I'm sure it'll be great

Or you can visit which?university's site, they have a course generator based on the subjects you study in a levels

Consider a form of engineering--physics and maths and chemistry occur a lot within all disciplines of engineering. That could be chemical, aerospace, mechanical, electrical, and so forth. Or you could do a theory-based degree, like mathematics, or theoretical physics.
