degree/career options

I currently do A level economics, psychology and sociology. Please can someone tell me what degrees or careers would be good with my subjects.

Im interested in doing something like PPE, economics and politics, global development, accounting, HR or banking.

Would my subjects put me at a disadvantage when applying to russel group unis such as KCL as i dont have any STEM subjects?

I also got an 8 in maths, but would something like accounting be really hard for me since i dont do a level maths

You need to check the 'entry requirements' for the degree subjects you are interested in on a range of different Uni websites, This will give you an idea of which A level subjects are either essential or preferred for each degree. Examples :
Subject Areas | Undergraduate | Newcastle University
Undergraduate Courses - Lancaster University

Good careers website with 100s of career / job profiles :
Job profiles | Prospects.ac.uk
