degree help

There's no point going to study a degree that right now as you are doing your a levels you have no interest in. That's so cool you are interested in geography and environmental science, I would say that BSc geography courses would probably be of interest to you / or be right to you! This is more physical science and environmental related, but you don't need a background in A-level maths. What subjects are you doing for A level? Are you in Year 12 or Year 13? https://www.manchester.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/2023/00575/bsc-geography/ I'm sure you can always continue your english and drama hobby through university societies and being involved in student theatre productions etc!

Other universities offering BSc geography for example https://www.durham.ac.uk/study/courses/f800/

Or perhaps environment and sustainability or environmental management, or BSc environmental science and geography

You could always consider taking a foundation year if you want to change from humanities or arts subjects towards more scientific subjects at A level.
https://www.manchester.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/courses/2024/12958/bsc-menvsci-environmental-science-with-an-integrated-foundation-year/. Manchster university offers a foundation course in environmental science which might be appropriate for you as well. I would say Physical Geography BSc and environmental science have similiar prospects, likely within environmental planning, sustainability and environmental consultancy https://environmentagencycareers.co.uk/careers/early-careers/?sType=ea_landingpage/ Have a look at the jobs posted on the environment agency for example

On your personal statement you could perhaps reference any lecture videos you have watched online or on you tube to see if environmental science is right for you, probably over the summer after your exams. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyqSpQzTE6M_vO7rLpxKZWqai4uJP2bDa for example

Hope this helps, good luck and I hope you can decide what you'd like to study in the future! If you need to change subjects or repeat a year / do an extra year, I would say it's worth it, don't rush and don't panic, it's much better to know what subject area you wish to study now, rather than hating your degree a few years down the line.

This is amazing!! Thank you so much
I'm currently studying english, biology and geography, so I think that would get me in to most courses. Im in Year 13 (hence the panic) but this makes me feel better about not rushing. I'm thinking I'll either switch to geography as a BSc because most modules have links to environmental science

If you can do Biology Maths (as in the Maths that is in Bio) than you should be able to do the Maths (and chemistry) on an environmental science course? U would have to check with the uni, tho?

Yeah I mean I'm not terrible at maths, but I look at my friends doing A level maths and chemistry and it just looks impossible

I've been debating whether my chosen degree (start in September 2023) is for me. I picked English and Drama at manchester - but am realising this is more of a hobbie, rather than a passion I have to learn and explore. I've always loved geography and environmental science and I'm thinking it's what I want to do for the rest of my life... or at least study and find interesting and exciting. I think i may take a gap year to reapply but theres a few things I am not sure about. Most unis have environmental science degrees with a lot of chemistry and maths (this is a given i know, considering it is a STEM subject), but I am not the best at maths. Does anyone have any advice of specific courses / unis that offer geography / environmental science degrees that are more focused on geography/the environment rather than chemistry/maths? Also, what is the difference in geography and environmental science in terms of difficulty, competitiveness, and career prospects? I would like to stick with Manchester but that isnt too important. I'm not really sure what to do or where to even start with this so any advice would be amazing Im currently sitting my A-Levels so I'm thinking I will just re-evaluate my choices once I get my results. I'm kinda frustrated because i spent so long writing a personal statement and making a perfect application, applying for Manchester and reading around my subject, and attending all taster lectures and events... all to not even want to do that subject anymore. Lol.
