What subject are you looking to study at university? At the end of the day it's all down to what you feel you will enjoy the most!

Depends what courses/unis you're thinking of. Any ideas? Would check if they have any subject requirements for certain courses.

Hi! I’m thinking of doing a degree Finance/Economics or maybe business I’m not really sure yet. But from what I’ve seen only some courses require maths - and few of the top unis further maths. But I’m torn between geography and business because I heard that unis don’t like people doing economics and Business together, sand some don’t like people doing maths and further maths together do i feel like this would leave me at a major disadvantage.

I would have thought unis might like maths and further maths? (esp for econ at oxbridge for example - but i doubt it'd be a requirement)
I'm not too sure what people think about business/geography. At the end of the day, do what you enjoy most!

Maths and FM together is perfectly fine for STEM subjects, and the more mathematical (like yours) so don't worry about that, I deffo recommend you take both! Some unis don't like business and economics together as they're similar again, but obvs as that's what you're applying to I think they would allow it! Geog does seem like an outlier, but I guess you chose it because you're good at it and it's a facilitating subject

Definitely keep maths if you enjoy it - it's needed for a lot of unis for econ (and if it isn't required, it's definitely recommended as degree level economics tends to be quite mathsy)

hey thanks so much for the help! i was just also wondering - do your not think it will be a problem if i took econ and business together since there so similar? i’d personally rather do business than geography but some people have said that it’s not preferable but i don’t know if this will disadvantage me.

I am applying for computer science at Oxford and I take maths FM physics and drama (I know!), so 3 very similar followed by a complete outlier! At the end of the day, do what you enjoy most

It depends on what you prefer in all honesty: it's not always a great idea asking people for their best choice. If you enjoy Geography, go for it! I believe Geography has a 20% NEA and Economics doesn't, so that's something you might consider. From personal experience, I chose Computer Science at A Level, as I enjoyed it at GCSE - and if you ask me now, it's probably the worst for me!
Perhaps the best thing you can do is look at the A-Level spec and make some kind of decision if what you think you would enjoy more.

Is it possible that you could do maths, further maths, business and geography?
As you said business is your favourite, you enjoy maths and you love geography. This would help you getting the best grades you can.
Anyway Good Luck and if this doesn’t help take my advice with a pinch of salt!
By the way, I checked on the Oxford website you don’t need to take economics to apply for an undergrad economics BA degree!

What were your GCSE grades? If they were good (7s 8s 9s) I would recommend option 1.
Otherwise I like option 3.

I don’t know if this is an option for you, and if it’s isn’t please discount everything I say, but

Perhaps you could do extra reading around your subject (if you’re not already doing so) to put in your personal statement and help you prepare?
