What further study / career options please with this alevel combination?

What longer term options might be available - either study-wise or career wise - with alevels in Econmics, History and Physics but without Maths please

Many thanks

There are a couple obvious ones - economics (some unis don't require maths, but maths skills are definitely important at degree level so it depends how you feel about that) and history. From there, you could pursue a career as an economist, a financial analyst, etc from economics, or you could become a media researcher, a teacher, or a historian from the history degree.

Alternatively, there are a number of study options that often don't have subject requirements. For example, business studies (which would suit your A level combination quite well, as you'll have some knowledge of economics, essay writing skills, and you'll have kept your basic maths skills sharp) and law, though I'm sure there are more.
From there, business could allow you to be an entrepreneur, and could help you in finding a job across a range of corporate fields such as marketing. A law degree typically would lead to a career in the justice system, but can also allow you to become a civil servant, a journalist, etc.
