A-Levels for Physics at University

Hi!

I'm currently a Year 12 student and I hope to study Physics at university. My A-level options are Further Maths, Maths, Physics and Economics.
Im doing maths A level this year and Im aiming for an A* in that, and then As in AS Physics and Economics and then in Year 13 an A in Further Maths, A* in Physics and A in Economics .
I really wanna study Physics at Oxford but I was wondering if the absence of A-Level Chemistry will have any kind of effect on my application for Oxford or any other unis. I heard it could obviously help with studying Physics, but Im not sure if it will affect the actual application?

Thanks!

They only really care about your three most relevant A-levels, so with four you will be fine on that count, but if you're good enough to apply to Oxford, you should at least be able to take an extra AS

Maths and physics are required, and the other subjects should be rigorous academic subjects, usually maths/science based. Economics is fine, especially considering it is a 4th A-level.
