Maths and Economics a must as they give you an edge and there is hardly any maths in accounting and finance which is any more complex than A level Maths. The difficulty in doing mathematical questions for accounting and finance is actually understanding the Logic behind it. For example I am in final year and I have one exam left which is on International Finance and the maths is easier than GCSE but people struggle because they don't understand the logic. Economics will give you an edge by teaching you essay writing and general knowledge of micro and macro economics. I always selected one module in economics and I achieved a first every time because I knew how to do essay from doing Economics. The third one you can choose your favorite really for my A levels I did Maths, Economics and BTEC IT.
