Acturial science

Is it better to take maths, economics, accounting OR maths, economics, further math?
Because as I know accounting is counted as non-preferred subject in some top UK uni. But further math might be counted as one subject alongside with math.
I might want to pursue acturial science or financial economics but I am not exactly sure.

Most people take maths as a 4th subject because it’s so similar to maths. If your good at maths ten consider it but it may limit your choices a bit. It really depends what you want to do next.

For actuarial science (or its equivalents with different names and maths degrees) you are almost always better off doing maths and further maths A level plus one or two others. Accountancy will be an irrelevance.
