You can do lots of things with that subject selection! Keep in mind your favourite subject and start looking for related degrees, see what catches your interest.

That's good and all but I'm asking what your would do if you had those subjects
Straight maths or computer science
I have something similar where I did Maths, Computer Science, and Physics. I'm starting BSc Computer Science this year, it's my favourite subject out of the three. Doing Computer Science at uni is basically going to be doing those three subjects anyway cause you do discrete mathematics, electronics so its the best of all of my fav subjects.

That's unlucky, I'd recommend Computer Science since its a good STEM subject with decent job prospects, but ultimately it's up to you, if you like Maths more then choose Maths.

Probably something to do with Engineering. Opportunities to;
Travel the world
Work on huge, complex and game-changing projects
Potentially huge salaries

Its better than stats but problem is i dont do physics
My ideal A levels would be: Maths (Or FM if i could), comp sci , physics and econ
i like geography so i'd have probably went for a degree with that if i did those subjects

I like it cause it has some physics elements and its a science apparently
Probably just maths
