IB Subject Help!

Hi,
So at IB level I'm planning to take the following subjects:
HL: English, Business and Geography
SL: Spanish, Math Studies, Environmental Systems and Societies

I was wondering what some relevant career paths would be that would follow on nicely from those choices, to aim for at university. (I'm predicted to get 35-40 points) Did anyone take similar subjects; if so what courses did you take at uni?
Thanks so much!

Just off the top of my head:

Anything to do with Geography, Urban planning, Land economy, Environmental conservation, maybe even Ecology

Well unis will generally only look at your HLs in terms of entry requirements, SLs aren't really a big deal. You could do quite a lot of subjects but it all depends on your preferred unis' entry requirements for different courses, if they do ask for anything it's often a subject related to the course. To give you an example, I applied for English Language & Linguistics at King's and they asked for 35 points overall as well as a HL6 in either English Language, English Literature, Psychology or a modern foreign language. This being said, some won't ask for anything aside from a total points score. I wouldn't look at career paths from the subjects themselves, but rather from the courses your subjects allow you to take.
Thank you so much for your help everyone! :smile:
