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!

Not in the UK. Physics has little overlap with economics or finance. As above though you can go into finance with a physics degree (indeed, most areas of finance you can go into with any degree including e.g. music, classics, philosophy, politics, etc).

You could consider studying maths (with or without one of the other subjects) however - some maths courses include more or fewer options in theoretical physics as well as perhaps some options in mathematical finance or similar. That said maths at degree level is very different from maths at school level, and even a lot of the maths you'd do in a physics or economics or finance degree.

Outside of the UK it may be more feasible to plan a double major/double degree programme in two distinct areas possibly (three is extremely unlikely).
