Uni applications for business/ finance/accounting

I NEED HELP PLS.
I’m in year 13, studying economics, business and psychology at predicted AAA. I am looking more to do a degree apprenticeship, but for a plan B I want to pursue a degree in business/ finance or accounting. However my only problem is I have a 5 in higher maths. All my other subjects are 6-8 including business studies, religious ed and history. But I’m not sure if I should pursue a business management degree a lot of people who have studied it say it’s not worth it. But then I want to do accounting but my maths isn’t strong enough. Is maths really necessary to do accounting. I’ve seen degree combinations with business and accounting or business and finance. I also wouldn’t mind economics but for really good unis you need a level maths or at least a 7 in gcse maths.
What degree should I mostly consider doing? ANY HELP PLEASE!

You can do accounting and finance at uni without A level maths. You do need a 6 for GCSE maths though. Take a look at courses
I wouldn’t do anything business related, it’s hard to get a job afterwards, accounting and finance is solid though and like someone said above just look at the courses at various universities and requirements.

Yes but the problem is that I got a 5 but my other GCSEs are all around 6-8 so I’m not sure if I should take the chance and apply. Or I’ve been looking into accounting and management. Idk if that’s good too

It’s an instant rejection if you don’t meet CCSE requirements. They are a “requirement” you’d be wasting your time
