a level choices

so i want to do architecture, but im only about to start my a levels in september. im going to choose physics because im sure ill be able to get a 7 (the grade requirement) and i want to chose maths. maths is a hope but i also need to get a 7 and theres a chance i might not. as well as this, my school does not offer a design based a level so i dont know what 3rd a level to pick.

i was thinking maybe buissness or economics, but if i dont get a 7 in maths ill have to do both.

would that be a waste of time?

As far as I’m aware unis don’t like it when someone does business and economics. It’s usually one or the other.

ucas recommends taking a maths/science alevel along with art or a design alevel, but if your school doesn't offer it maybe physics is your best bet?

yeah, physics is basically a definite. like i mentioned, hopefully ill be able to do math, in which case its just a matter of which ones better out of economics or business. the worry is if i don't reach the grade for math, what to chose if i don't want to do both economics and buisness. i would have loved to do an art and design course but unfortunately my school doesn't offer it, so i will have to do that in my spare time. this brings 2 problems however because 1, i wont get an official qualification or an a level from this, and 2 buisness and economics are both heavily essay based subjects which would leave me little free time to learn and build a portfolio
