  If you want to be an engineer (and who doesn’t 🙂 ) good choices at a level would be maths and physics (and possibly computing?).
  
  At university it would be an advantage to study an accredited engineering course – mainly because it provides a smoother path into an engineering career (e.g. becoming a chartered engineer, etc).
  
  However, I know quite a lot of people that took unconventional routes into an engineering career – such as physics degrees, etc.

  Hi –
  I guess you need to have maths and probably physics, then something to complement the engineering you fancy – could be chemistry, more maths, biology, computing. Even languages can work, but I suspect the better uni would like those as well as 3 sciences/maths rather than instead of one.
  At uni, there are loads of engineering degrees – I’ve seen websites describing 30 types, but you can also go into engineering from a maths, science or computing degree. There are some more obvious routes, but a lot of things can work.
