Hi guys,
I am hoping to study economics at university possibly with the addition of maths or management, hopefully at Oxbridge or another top university. I was wondering what the best choice of A-levels would be:
1. Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Chemistry
2. Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Economics
Which of these would give me the best shot at Oxbridge etc.
Any help or advice is much appreciated.

Please could you clarify as to why?
The chemistry department at my school is really good but the economics department is rubbish so I would appreciate what clarification you could give.

In my opinion you'd want to take economics so you KNOW it's the degree path you want to take.

As well as this, economics a level will give you a good indication of what economics is about...
I'd advise doing maths, further maths, economics. You can do whatever fourth option you like, because oxbridge only looks at your 3 most important a levels for their course.

If you are set on studying economics at uni, then I would suggest doing Maths, Further Maths, Economics and any one of Chemistry/Physics. Alternatively if you aren't sure then you should do Maths, Economics, Physics and Chemistry as these keep your options open for a year, you can then pick up an AS in further maths (or even the full A2) the next year for economics should you decide that its the course you want to study.

2 is the best. I think maths, further maths, economics and history is the most popular choice

obviously economics at a-level would help once you are doing a degree in the subject...

It's a tough subject from what I've heard. Chemistry is easier. If you get chem, you get more time to learn some more econ on your own. Cuz further maths is kind of time consuming. If you learn some more econ on your free time, you get to know more about the subject and then you can find out if that really is what you want to study at university or wat....
