For Marine Economics and Finance, typical subject combinations include:
- Economics
- Mathematics
- Geography
- Biology (sometimes)

As an art student, you might face challenges. Marine Economics and Finance often require strong quantitative skills, so having Maths is a big plus.

Check the specific university requirements. Some might allow art students with strong Maths or offer bridging courses.
