Change of direction (Maths degree w/o A2 Maths?)

[The_Idler]

Ok, i gotta run very soon, so i'll be back in a bit to post more, but here's the basics:

I was a child genius. talking 150-160 IQ at age 11/12.
I am absurdly good at maths, but never really liked it.
always preferred sciences.

Was intending to do pharmacology at Uni, later decided on MChem.
studying:
A LEVEL - Phys Chem Biol
AS LEVEL - Psych Maths

Now, i fucked up my AS exams, ended up with:
Psych AS grade A (finished)
Gen Studies grade A
Chem grade B (retaking exams)
Phys grade B (retaking exams)
Biol grade D (retaking exams)

and i am doin maths AS this year, will easily make an A grade.

so i look set to end up with:
A level Phys: A
A level Chem: A
A level Bio: B
AS level Psych: A
AS level Maths: A
General Studies: A


so, i changed my mind again.
i lost interest in pure chemistry,
i want to do either economics, finance, computer science or mathematics.
Econ/Finance will be easy to get onto, but are kind of bullshit degrees.
I would much rather have a MChem, MPharmacol or Bsc Math,
but i don't want to do pure chem, pharmacology is a bit too sector specific
and it seems I *need* full A level maths, to apply to undergrad maths courses.

So, please, any thoughts on my situation,
also, is there a way to do BSc math without having A level maths (some kind of foundation year!?),
OR can i somehow complete my A level in maths, after finishing my second year at 6th form?
like, stay here for another year, working, while doing A2 maths at night school or summat.

Econ is extremely interesting and the kind of cool thing about it is that technically speaking all businesses have to do with economics / money in some way so you can kind of talk your way into many positions or get your MBA from there. I went Econ and am happy with it but it does leave you kind of floating afterward wondering what you are really going to do with it.

You are in the UK so I don't know what half the stuff you're talking about is.

well yes i am interested in economics, and would like to go into finance.

but if the economy crashes, what use is an economics degree?
they are too common and specific.
Maths buys my way into the same positions, plus more/better.

You could look in to Engineering. I'm a freshman CHEM-E

generally you can get into university level mathematics courses without the pre-requisites by doing a bridging course that gets you up to speed fairly quickly. I know that here at the University of Sydney you can do a 6 week bridging course for maths to bring you up to speed if you haven't got the required pre-reqs.

Have a look into that. Not having all the required pre-reqs is not something that has to stop you doing what you want to do
