Cluelessly going into A-levels...

I REALLY enjoyed economics during my edexcel igcses, and even if I'm bad at maths, I still quite enjoyed it too.
Results are coming next month and I have to start selecting the three subjects.
I'm naively interested in persuing an economic degree. In all honestly, I'm totally lost. It's like I enjoying all the subjects and none of the subjects at the same time. And to top it off, I do not have a dream university or job.
Just putting that out there for anyone to relate to, or if you have any advice
Thank you~

For an Economics degree, you will need A level Maths. You wont need Economics but if you enjoy it, fine
So pick those two and one other subject you will enjoy studying, and where you feel confident of a good grade - Sociology, Politics or something totally different, it wont matter.
Also, it worth thinking about what sort of Econ degree you might want to do - and if its 'just Econ' or a joint subject course with something else - examples :
Economics, undergraduate courses : University of Sussex
Undergraduate courses | Economics | The University of Sheffield

If you like economics then do it for A-levels. Considering you don’t know what to do as a career, might want to consider another degree.
My brother did econ at Nottingham to go into finance careers etc. currently an investment banker. He found it difficult and thought it was completely pointless of a degree to the job he’s doing. He wished he’d done Accounting and Finance. I’d suggest find out what career you want first before choosing a degree.

OHHHH 😲
Will do! Thank you for the insight

Hey @Searchforuni,
Great to see a fellow Economics lover! 😄 I didn't get the opportunity to study it at GCSE as my school didn't offer it at the time - however, I picked it up somewhat randomly at A-Level and it easily became one of my favourite subjects.
I didn't find A-Level Economics to be too maths-based; although my brother said considerably more maths was involved at degree level. He ultimately ended up as a risk analyst for one of the Big Four accounting firms. It's a good idea however to check the alumni destinations/after you graduate sections on university course pages - they'll give you a better overall idea of the sort of careers available to you through studying that course.
In terms of your third subject - I'd say to just choose a subject you enjoy/think you're relatively strong in. If you're aiming for top universities, Further Maths will of course be advantageous, but to my knowledge it's not a requirement.
Best of luck with your studies!

Hi thank you for the feedback!
I'm hoping to do Econ and Maths, the third subject I would try something new.
As for the Econ degree, I'm still researching what I'd be interested in 😅 so thank you so much for the examples!
Have a nice day! 😁
