First things first, do you like any of these subjects? Is there anything you're interested in for a future career?

Decide what you want to do, then pick a Uni, not the other way around. 'RG' is essentially marketing fluff - it does not mean that its a 'better' course, or that you will even enjoy the course or like being at that Uni. And most employers now recruit Uni-blind, so 'RG' or whatever does not automatically guarantee you a great career or a wonderfully happy life. Think bigger.

Hello,

The subjects that you are doing actually open up a lot of opportunities for you. But it depends on what area you prefer.
If you want STEM degrees: chemical engineering, energy engineering, computer engineering
Business and data route: finance, economics, accounting, computer science.
OR you can choose interdisciplinary degrees like economics & chemistry.

All the best,
-Sarah (Kingston Rep)

What sort of career areas are you interested in?
Do you have to go to uni- could you not do an apprenticeship/degree level apprenticeship after your a-levels?

My advice to you would be to do some wider reading and see what you’re really passionate about learning. Springpod is a good site to use for this as they offer taster courses for a range of degree subjects for you to explore.
