Do they have a list of subjects of what 'science' includes? See if you can find this because some unis have different subjects that class as a 'science'. For example some unis might see psychology as a science but others may see it as a 'soft' science

Im also hoping to do zoology and have applied to sixth form so I’ve researched this a bit. Biology (which you are taking) is obviously a must, other than that it’s good to have another science subject. If you dont wanna do chem, physics or maths then i would say environmental science might be a good option or something along the lines of geography/geology or psychology depending on what you’re most interested in. For example, if you’re more interested in animal behaviour then psychology could be a strong choice but if you’re more into the physical ecology kinda side you might wanna opt for geography or geology. Environmental science is a safe option i would say if you’re school offers it as it is close to what you want to study! Hope this helps with your decision!

Hi @tuttley,

I did my BSc in Zoology at the University of Southampton and have now taken an MRes in Wildlife conservation here too. At A-levels I personally took Biology, Psychology and Geography. Here are each of our courses and their A-level requirements:

BSc Zoology - A level science subjects considered include Chemistry, Physics, Maths, Psychology, Environmental Studies, Geography and Geology.
BSc Marine Biology - Chemistry, Maths, Environmental Studies, Geology, Geography or Physics.
MSci Biology and Marine Biology - Chemistry, Maths, Environmental Studies, Geology, Geography or Physics.

I hope this helps. If you have anymore questions please let me know.

Abby,
