Is Business, Economics and Fine/Graphic Art A-level okay?

I have been struggling for the past few months to choose my desired A-levels alongside the sixth form I want to got to, I have only and truly applied to one, the other ones I have applied to are not the places I would see myself being educated in.
I was wondering if there was some recommendations with people who choose Business or Economics because those are two A-levels I am sure that I might study in the future, however I also intrigued with the creative side of industry, and I see myself doing something creative but I don’t know If Art is a A-level that can be very useful to apply in Universities ( I’ve heard of it many times, I am not sure if its true).

What type of sixth form would you recommend?

Many Unis will not accept Business and Economics together, and also if you are aiming at an Economics degree many top Unis will require Maths A level. Art A level is hard-work, and time-consuming - make sure you can commit to this without wrecking your other two subjects.

It might be a good idea to start thinking about what you want to do with these A levels, even if its just 'something to do with ...'. Look at the entry requirements for any degree subjects that interest you and see exactly which A level subjects are essential or preferred. Examples

Product Design and Innovation | Aston University
Innovation | Study at Bristol | University of Bristol
Liberal Arts BA : University of Sussex
BA Creative and Cultural Industries (2025 entry) | The University of Manchester
etc
