I want to study Maths & Econ at uni so I'd like to know what the best options are
I'm currently thinking of doing
Maths, Further, Physics, History + EPQ (On economics) (currently here)
Or
Maths, Further, Physics, French and Economics
Or
Maths, Further, Physics, Econ + EPQ (on econ?)

@wide sable I summon your wisdom (sorry for the ping but you're clearly experienced in giving honest advice)

why u want econ

runic wing
#

Well econ a level could be useful for econ at uni? although it's not required right

#

On why I like it - I'm always reading about economics, and curious specifically about macro (how inflation is managed, how central banks use monetary policy etc)

#

What combination is better for applying to uk?

#

i meant why u wanna do econ at uni

#

anyway u dont need physics to do econ

runic wing
#

for the maths part i need to show off

wide sable
#

bro what

runic wing
#

im not doing pure econ, it's maths+econ

#

maths and economics is highly competitive

#

maths further and physics is bare minmum skill, then i complement with either econ/hist/epq

wide sable
#

u dont need physics at all

gritty sedge
#

unless you're taking it as your fourth subject because you have interest in it and such then that's fine

#

if you're applying to the UK, a good combination would be maths, further maths, econs and another subject

#

yeah do maths FM econ and another subject

#

Thing is economics in my school is pretty badly taught

#

Physics serves two purposes - one is math skill and the other is in case everything fails, I can go to engineering
