I thought I had my mind set on Economics but after going to a Law Programme doing a degree in Law now looks really interesting, I can't decide out of the two. Which is better respected? Which would keep my options open? They both have pros and cons I can't really choose.

Nobody can make the decision for you on here, we don't know you! If you're really unsure and can't think of any career goals perhaps delay your UCAS application to think things through or get some experience / advice (you have till January!) or take a gap year to figure it out & get work experience?

Thanks for the advice, to be honest I'm mostly set on doing economics, but I'm worried because I didn't do maths A Level that it will ruin my chances for being given a place at the universities I've chosen over someone who has maths.

only the top 6 unis ask for maths for economics- Oxford cambridge LSE UCL Warwick and Imperial (maths with finance). Every other uni usually has a BSc course that requires maths and a BA that doesnt

I don't think you need to worry about doing maths a level but I think it might put you at a disadvantage bc you'd be behind some other students in your classes. However, there's a reason a lot of unis don't require maths for an economics degree and I think a lot of people will be in the same situation as you. When I went to Birmingham, they said they really didn't need you to have a maths a level as long as you're willing to learn and put the effort in. I hope I helped, Good luck with your studies!

Also if Economics was your long time plan, your probably put more thought into it and from what you’ve said Law for you seems to be just a last minute idea
Although I’m slightly biased bc I’m applying for economics!
