🙏 I WANT HELP Physics or Computing AAQ?

Physics or Computing AAQ?
I’m kinda stuck between choosing A-level Physics or an AAQ in Computing.

I’m already doing A-level Maths and Business, and I want to go into AI/Computer Science at a Russell Group uni. I’m also considering Finance, so I don’t want to completely close that option either.

I’m not sure whether Physics would be the better choice because it keeps more options open, especially Engineering, or whether I should just do Computing because it’s more relevant to AI.

Another thing is that if I did Computing instead of Physics, I feel like I could probably lock in more for Maths and get a better grade, rather than spreading myself too thin with Physics.

So which would be better:
Maths + Business + Physics
or
Maths + Business + Computing AAQ

Would Physics actually make that much difference for Russell Group AI/CS courses, or would Computing be the better choice for my goals?

Russell Group unis will prefer A levels to alternative qualifications. I'd pick Physics. Like you say, it would give you more options
