Can I have a career in Biology without A-level Chemistry?

I really would like a career in Biology as i love science, but i am not very good at Physics or Chemistry, probably because i dont enjoy them as much. But can i have a career in biology without A-level chemistry?

If you can get into a biology degree then you can get into a career in biology, as once you have your degree A levels become irrelevant (with a few exceptions mainly concerning competitive graduate jobs in the financial and legal sectors). So look for biology degrees that will accept you without chemistry.

I think so. I mean they’re very different sciences and I expect most unis would only require biology A level, some may ask for an additional science (which can also include maths) but there must be loads of unis which only want biology A level.

If you are wanting to do a biology/ science related degree for your career, you could look at Open University courses-the undergraduate courses have no entry requirements. Good luck with your aspirations!
