As someone who picked this combination, I wouldn't recommend it as it's very limiting. But I did receive offers from Brunel, QMUL and City, UoL for finance.

Are they Russell group Universities?

Change business for something else. Some unis don't like business and econ together.

Problem is that I'm started from September those subjects and can't to change now 😒 I thought it was a very good combination here and the teachers didn't say anything when I was picking, and now I've read that economics and business are similar and universities don't want to accept both , it's a panic for me now 😞

What do you want to study in uni? It shouldn't be a massive problem for most courses.

Economic or finance.. I predict to have AAA or A*A*A* If I had known I would have chosen physics instead of business, because I had A for chemistry, physics and biology

For those you'd probably be ok tbh. Some people from my school took the same combo as you and most of them applied to econ or a&f. It just depends on the uni. Most don't care, some might look down on it.

Yes you can apply, but we don't know what we'll get 😕
