Does geography count as another science?

When applying to certain degrees they ask for a science like bio, chem, physics and another science subject. I'm just wondering if geography can be classed as another science subject when applying or not? It may be specific to certain uni's, however I'm not sure :/. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
more so a social science/humanities/essay based subject id say like history, sociology etc

Universities accept different sciences. Sometime they only accept Chem, Phys, Biol and Maths. Others include subjects such as Geography and Psychology. You need to check each university to see which subjects they class as Sciences.

As @swansea jack1 says, you'll need to check with the uni. It will also depend on which course you are applying for. For example, it's unlikely to be accepted as a science for Medicine, but probably would be for Environmental Science.
