a-level desicions

hi, i am currently trying to decide on my a-level choices
i think i would like to go into environmental science.
i think im going to choose biology and chemistry but i dont know whether to do geography or photography for my third as these are my favourite gcse subjects
any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance
Does your school allow 4 subjects to be taken? If so you could start with 4 and then choose between them later...

If not I would say go with geography. This is because it links in with your previous a level choices nicely and they balance each other well :smile: also because art a-levels take a lot of time and effort and are harder to get top grades in.

If you were to switch schools for A-level you could potentially take an environmental science a-level? They offer that at my 6th form college :smile:

I hope this helps you! :smile:

thanks for the help. My school only allows you to pick three as you have to do EPQ aswell. i have looked at other schools and colleges the also only allow three and do not give the option of environmental science.

You could do a photography project based on environmental science for your EPQ?

Like an installation or collection that raises awareness about a certain issue or showcases something you enjoy about the environment.

That way you would be able to continue doing photography during a levels whilst having it link back to what you want to study in the future :smile:

No most likely not I have a friend doing maths and English literature alongside geography so it’s not required
Geography will go well with wat u wanna do I the future
