Don't know which Science degree to study?

Alright, so I am interested in studying a science degree (studying Science A-levels), but don't know which to study, as there are so many, and at the same time there is pressure of ensuring I study something with good future for a job.


So I wished to know if there is any way I can get some more knowledge about the various degrees, like through some open day, guides/books, someone/some body/organisation, through which I can learn and narrow down my options?

Depends what you like the most really. Wouldn't advise you to spend so many years studying something you don't like purely because of its employment prospect. How did you do in your AS? what are your predicted grades?
I personally would:
Look at the syllabus for selected science degrees, the read up a summary of the topic, is it lecture based or lab based? What does it lead too? Maybe watch a few youtube lectures of said module to get an idea (even if you cant follow exactly whats going on).

When in doubt, do a natural sciences degree, then you can specialise later.

Thanks, the course is just called "Natural Sciences" ? Do most uni's do it, particularly in Manchester, or maybe London?

which science course should I do that is broad/balanced and would allow me to go into other fields? Thank you
