I'm not sure whether has this been asked many times.

I am taking A Levels next year to prepare myself for engineering. I'm not sure what engineering yet. But I'm thinking of nuclear engineering at the moment. Which subject would be more advantageous - further maths or economics?

And another question (an off topic question), what are my degree choices if I were to take economics, chemistry, physics and maths?

I strongly discourage you to take nuclear engineering for undergrad studies ...
Is too specified, if you have a job lined up for you already ones you grad then by all means pursue your dreams.
Go for the traditional one like mechanical, chemical or civil, they're other ways to be a nuclear engineers ones you're in the industry and you can always do postgrad specializing in the nuclear field.
Good A-Levels combo for engineering are chem+physics+maths+further maths.
Strongly recommend you take further maths, your studying life will be heaps easier in uni later .....
Anyway if in doubt ask more questions.

Oh okay. Thanks. Then, it is possible to get a chemical engineering degree as undergrad and then get a master in nuclear engineering, right?
I am quite worried about taking further maths because from what i've heard, only a small amount of people take it as it is extremely tough. I am just worried that I am not able to understand and cope with it. Is it a good idea to get started on further maths now? (I sound so crazy. shocking.gif )

for the admission of MSc in Nuclear engineering, the pre-req is u must hv B degree either in engineering or science...I think B.Eng Chem Eng n B.Sc. are Physics is the best to consider for ur Bacheor degree if u r interested in nuclear engineering..

I'm planning for MSc. Nuclear Engineering as well, but maybe not in the near future..I'm still collecting information on nuclear engineering grad schs frm all over th world and how to gain admission to univ oversea...

Could you share it with me or at least give me some guidance on how to find it? I literally have no idea what university offers nuclear engineering and how to gain admission to overseas university. Furthermore, I need to look for and successfully get an oversea scholarships if I were to study abroad.
