Earth Science Oxford

Is FM, Maths, Geography, Physics acceptable at Oxford? On the website it says maths is a must have, and so is either physics or chem. Would i reduce my chances by only doing one science or is it still adequate? I am in yr 11 so still time to switch.

Yeah, you only need chemistry or physics.

I believe not having chemistry will not harm your chances of admission (since you do four (of which includes FM)). However, I would revise a bit of chemistry before your interview (should you receive one). Since they may ask you questions with some chemistry terminology (carbonates ect).

This is a good combination of A' levels for Oxf ES, because the course is maths/physics heavy. Chemistry questions rarely get asked at interview these days but it would help to have some basic knowledge in this.
