RS (philosophy and ethics), psychology, sociology, politics.

Post by Potterfan »

Can anyone advise which of the above will work with History and Geography A levels, to keep university and job options open?

How would doing biology with history and geography work?

Thanks in advance

To me, politics would work best with those. Doing biology wouldn't keep options open as any science degree would probably want 2 science A levels or one plus maths. Biology is hard, I wouldn't do it just out of interest.

I can second the link recommended by guest55. We have been having the same dilemma and she kindly pointed me in this direction and it did help DS.

To go slightly OT. If you enter maths, further maths & physics it gives you an "unexpected" option of general engineering!

I entered my DD's A levels in: Maths, Geography and Politics, and an unexpected match was 'Food and Beverage Studies' !!! I will let her know. :lol:

DD is really enjoying Government and Politics. It goes really well with History and Geography.

I put in DDs choices (maths, chem, sociology and Eng Lit or german) and one thing that came up was chem eng. :lol:

I have not told her this.

Put DS1's subjects in PE, French and Geography and it came up with Sports Science degree and teaching - 100% accurate for him :lol:
