A Level Resit while at university

So i’m currently going into my second year at University of Lincoln studying Economics. I have been averaging a first so far in the first year. However, I am concerned that my A Level results (BBD), which were much lower than I expected to obtain, will affect my chances at getting a summer internship and post-graduate job. Therefore, I am considering taking business A Level at the same time as my second year at university. I was wondering if people thought this was worthwhile or not.

It may be important to note that I intend to do a Masters degree at a russell group university after graduating.

Probably not worthwhile. If you're intending on doing a masters, the university will be far more interested in your grades at your current university than your A-levels (if they're interested in them at all). And the kinds of jobs that stipulate certain A-level grades are going to be interested in what you achieved at first sitting, rather than with resits.
