what to take?

I am soon going to be choosing my 3 A-levels but I cannot decide. I want to go to a Russel Group University but I cant decide whether to take Art or Geography and if so which other A-level options would go best with each. Thank You.

What degree subject are you looking at, and what are your other A Level options?
What uni course are you hoping to do?
Pick subjects which you enjoy and are good at- don't fret about university yet

Geography, Chemistry and English Literature all look fine for a Geography degree, and they are all strong, facilitating subjects which universities like.

Do you have a preference for human or physical geography, or are you looking to apply for a mixed geography degree? :smile:

This might help (even if you aren't considering Cambridge):

Okay that's fine, different A Level subjects can be helpful depending on which side of geography you prefer, e.g.:

Physical Geography: geology, environmental science, biology
Human Geography: economics, business studies, sociology

Just something to think about :smile:
