will studying both business and economics be detrimental when i apply for uni

Hi im going into yr 13 doing bus, eco and geo as my a levels , I recently heard that doing both bus and eco is disliked by unis.

If true will it affect me to applying for top unis?
specifically ( York, Southampton, Exeter and Bath)

Some universities would have problem. For example, LSE say here that, "A broad academic background will provide the skills to perform well in any of the challenging programmes at LSE. Students offering a narrow range of subjects may be at a disadvantage compared to those offering a broader combination. Examples of narrow subject combinations might be Economics, Business Studies and one other or English Language, English Literature and one other."

What subject were you thinking of studying at York, Southampton, Exeter or Bath?

Accounting and fiance

Accounting and fiance

Bath is out, not for the Economics/Business thing, but because they say they want "AAA or A*AB in three A levels including A in Mathematics." (source)

I can see no indication that your A level subjects would an issue for Accounting and Finance (or similar) at the other universities you mentioned.

yea, instead im actually thinking of doing accounting and management at bath instead, the only thing is they require a 6 for math's but I only got a 5 due to some complicated reasons, so I was thinking of applying through contextual admissions/ mitigating circumstances which they accept a 4 for. But even then I feel like my chances are still very low

Have you considered retaking you maths GCSE alongside your A levels?

I wanted to but the sixth form i go to only offers foundation teir resits even though i know i could do higher, i was thinking of doing a online one but i really dont want to spend £700 on it.

A small sum compared to the c.£50k your degree will cost you?

True, but a degree doesn't cost that much does it? I thought it would be something like 20k
