Want to do Chemistry A-Level but dont want to drop anything

I have currently picked Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Economics and probably want to do Engineering in the future and I thought Chemistry might be useful if I wanted to go down the chemical engineering path. However, I picked Economics as a subject if I wanted to go down a finance route and I also quite enjoy it. I don't think 5 A-Levels is suitable as I don't think I have the time outside of school to study for these. Would I still be fine going down a chemical path with my subjects or should I reconsider?

check uni courses, they will tell you specific entry requirements including subjects, i think you should be fine tho without chem as you could take a foundation year

A-level Economics isn't required for any degree and you can do a degree in finance, economics, or anything else without it. It's of no specific benefit in pursuing that.

If you want to do chemistry swap it for economics. Obviously though chemistry isn't necessary for engineering or those aforementioned courses.

While for chemical engineering it is often required it's not always required and quite a few courses just require one of physics or chemistry plus maths.

I would not suggest doing 5 A-levels under any circumstances.
