Which subject better?

My son has chosen Economics and Business A level. He didn't get the grade for Maths so had to choose another subject. All that was left for him to choose is Btec science or cam tech ICT. In GCSEs he got a grade 2 for computer science, didn't get on with coding but ICT is different? In science he got 5 4 and he doesn't really have an interest in science, nor does he want a job related to science in the future but clearly without much revising, he did ok! So he is now not sure which one to pick! Which subject goes better with Economics and Business?

There is other subjects too that he can research rhat go well with economics and business, but if he doesnt really have a interest in science he shouldnt pick it. Cause there would be very little motivation to do it other than just cause you picked it as a last option. ICT , i dont know what cam means but ICT is a little different and je should research the course and see if he likes the topics, also it doesnt have too much codimg compared to conputer science.

Thank you. Other courses are full so he didn't have any other choices. There was btech media studies which he was 100 percent certain he didn't want to do. He wanted to choose governmental politics but it was full. We are hoping someone drops out in September.

Thats fine, sometimes students change their subjects in the first two weeks of school, till maximum this can go till the 1st month of september but it depends on the school. So yes spaces can be available in september
