Definately physics and maths, thats the only two we require at Lancaster Uni. Chemistry as well if you want to do Chem eng, and computing is useful but not essential for electronics.

aths is a must!
Physics helps you to understand the basics of everything around about you however there was a guys in my uni class that didnt have a physics grade and still passed. He did just need to work a little harder.
if you are already considering engineering though, i would definitely advise choosing Maths and physics and like Graeme said, Chemistry also helps.
I was amazed when doing mechanical engineering how much chemistry was involved in order to understand how materials react under different conditions

It really depends on the type of engineer you want to be. I am a software engineer and studied art, biology and IT at A level. If you have your heart set on a particular type of engineer then have a look at what colleges/universities need you to have studied at A level to get on to their course. I’d suggest going for subjects where you have to think logically (technology and science subjects) and get to make things or do things to solve problems. If you like maths then do that as it great to have on your CV and gives you the largest choice of things you could do post-A level. Don’t be afraid of having a mix of different types of subjects though – it doesn’t have to be all maths or all science!

If you want to be a mechanical or electrical engineer (or something similar) then definitely maths. Physics is really useful for learning how to think logically and how to problem solve.
Like Hannah says, software engineers are very different and IT is probably more useful than either maths or physics 🙂
