My a level choices

I have chosen biology, chem and maths for a level but I am changing chemistry to physical education (PE).

What degree options do I have with bio, maths and PE? I dont want my options to be limited and I need degree ideassss

You still have many degree options you could choose. Mathematics, and Biology are the obvious ones. You could also do pretty much anything number related such as accounting, finance, economics etc.

Is there any healthcare degrees I could still do?

I would expect you can still do the vast majority of them, medicine included (perhaps dentistry too).

The list is going to be long.

With Maths + 2 A Levels, you can do:

Maths and Stats

Computer science and software engineering

Economics and MORSE

Finance, financial mathematics, financial engineering, and actuarial science

Biological mathematics

Some radiography degrees


Maths + Biology/PE:

Optometry

Some biomedical science degrees

Some biological science degrees

Bioengineering

Environmental Science

Some degrees in medicine

Some degrees in dentistry

Some degrees in veterinary science

Earth science and geology

Some degrees in pharmacology

Some degrees in physiology


Biology/PE + 2 A Levels would allow you to do:

Sports science

Physiotherapy

Biology

Nutrition and food science

Midwifery

Radiography

Psychology

Zoology


You can then do degrees that accept A Levels in any 3 subjects. These can include:

Anything in business expect for financial mathematics and actuarial science (for obvious reasons)

Law

Anthropology

Archaeology

Sociology and criminology

Most psychology degrees

Some degrees in creative writing and English literature

Dance

Drama and theatre

Nonquantiative economics degrees

Education

Theology

Politics

Philosophy

Linguistics

Agriculture

Some art and design degrees, including architecture

Some geography degrees (usually ones with emphasis on human geography)

Some history degrees

Some nutrition degrees

Film

Game design

Hospitality and events management

Property and urban planning

Journalism

Media studies

Nursing

Paramedic science

Social work

Policing


TSR also has its own A Level explorer that helps highlight the courses that you can do:

By not having chemistry, you have reduced the range of degrees that you can do unfortunately.
Personally, instead of doing PE I would have picked Physics instead. However, that's just me.

I would suspect that doing biology, chemistry and mathematics would be better if you want to study a medicine degree, although biology and maths alone would be sufficient for some universities. There are of course many other degrees which are still open to you, for example, nursing, physiotherapy etc.

Thankyou so much

not sure about other degrees, but if you want to do medicine then you 100% should do chemistry

Doing chemistry opens your options up but it’s not necessary to take if you want to study medicine. There are plenty of medical schools that will accept biology in combination with another science subject, which maths falls under.
