Hi, thanks for your question!I studied Biology, Economics and Business. I was supposed to study Sport Science instead of Business, and then go down the Physiotherapist/Physical science route, but there were issues with course numbers! If you want to get into science as a career, or at least study a scientific discipline in university, you'll definitely need at least 1 science at A-Levels. I personally managed to land a career in science off of one science A-level, but it would definitely help to do 2 sciences - Biology and Chemistry pair really well together, and will open up many doors. However, if you only like one of the sciences, that is fine. I don't regret not taking Chemistry, but I did think a lot about it at the time. Sort of related - maths also helps a lot too. Any of the sciences + maths (regular, not further) is often a university requirement. Again, I don't regret not taking maths, but I did heavily think about taking [link removed] that helps!
