Can I study Economics, Finance, and Physics together at uni?
13
Hi everyone! I'm currently doing my IGCSEs and am super interested in studying Economics, Finance, and Physics at university. I'm also passionate about entrepreneurship and would love to find a course that combines these interests.
I'm looking for universities in bustling cities with single-campus setups. I've been involved in science Olympiads, led my hockey team as captain, and even attended an AI boot camp at Samsung.
Does anyone know of any courses or universities that might fit what I'm looking for? Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Many UK unis offer economics/finance together but I think it's very unusual for them to be joint with physics. Are there any particular unis you were looking at?

The closest for you would probably be Imperial's course: Economics, Finance and Data science. It matches the entrepreneurial/AI/Tech vibe, and is obviously in a bustling city.

Not really but I love any subject with heavy logical thinking and problem solving

So why not just do physics? It's quite common for physics students to go into finance but you'd have a harder time doing something physics-related with an economics degree

Well it’s that physics has a low range of jobs you can get into (what my friends told me) so I don’t really know what’s right or wrong about that.

No thats a lie. For finance it doesnt matter what degree you do (STEM is preferable, which you would be doing in physics)

How is stem related to physics

Because Stem is science technology engineering and maths

I mean it totally depends what field you want to go into though - I assumed it was finance

For most finance jobs you can apply with any degree, not just finance/economics related ones. You don't have to pursue a physics-related career with a physics degree.

I am interest in both equally but I am more experienced in physics as I spent more time learning it.

Ok, well if you want to go into physics obviously do a physics degree. If you want to go into finance it does not matter.

Because top finance companies want strong logical thinkers. Top physics programs (Oxbridge, Imperial, Warwick mathphys) recruit top logical thinkers, which is what these companies want.

You could also look at the maths degrees from Warwick, specifically MORSE which will definitely scratch your logical itch..Warwick is also more flexible with options so you could take extra credits in physics if you wished. Or you could do math and physics from Warwick with finance/statistics options.

I mean, short answer not really.
So far as I know there aren't any degrees which cover that much ground, but there will be degrees which are, say, Physics+Business, MathPhys, Statistical Physics, Data Science and will cover a decent amount of that ground.
You could also take a pure physics degree at a uni with a decent range of module flexibility.
