Hey @nidzy17,

If you're thinking of a career in either finance or IT, A-Level Maths, Economics and Computer Science is an excellent combination.

Make sure to check out the entrance requirements for any university courses or degree apprenticeships you might be interested in. Your A-Levels should meet the vast majority of subject requirements for degrees in those fields, but looking at entrance requirements will give you a better idea of what grades you need to achieve in the long-term.

Hope this helps and best of luck,
