I hate chemistry but I want to do radiography. Can I still get into a radiography?

I just finished my GCSE’s and I managed to get into Sixth form but I didn’t get the courses I wanted. I got into biology,Chemistry and economics however I really don’t like chemistry and don’t want to take it.I also really struggle with chemistry a lot. I asked to change to psychology but my school has no spaces available in psychology.If I change chemistry out for a subject like sociology do you think I’ll still be able to become a radiographer? I did get a 9 in GCSE sociology. And I got an 8-8 in combined science if it is relevant.

omgg so rare to find someone in the same situation as me i also got into bio and chem and also hate chem but dw radiography courses only need one science so keep bio. then for the rest of your alevels do as u wish im also taking alevel socio and got a 8 at gcse 🙂

to be honest have no clue i dont want go through the difficulty of alevel chem for no reason if i would like to pursue radiography however i have been quite interested in pharmacy lately maybe its just a phase but for pharmacy i would need chem so im kinda stuck lol. may i ask what third alevel u chose

Hi! U can get into radiography without chem!
Some unis provide entry requirements where u can do health and social and another subject instead. Hope this helps!
GCE and VCE Advanced Level
112-120 points from three A Levels including a science subject, or equivalent T-Levels, excluding general studies. If Advanced Double Award (ADA) it must be applied science or health and social care. AS levels are not acceptable.

thank you so much!! I definitely want to do alevels however I always say I want to do radiography for some reason I feel like not doing a level chem will limit my options.

As others have said, most radiography courses only require one science A-Level and biology will suffice. There is of course some physics in radiography, and whilst A-level chemistry (or physics) will help with that, since chemistry is essentially applied physics, in the 1st year they know that not everyone has A-level physics, so they pitch the teaching accordingly.
Also, please, for the love of all that is holy, do NOT consider pharmacy if you don't like chemistry!!!

thank u so much 🙂 also what combo do u think is better bio psych and chem or bio psych and socio

r u still sicking to chem?

I changed Chem to Sociology however I might change it back

What are you doing now

can i consider radiology if physics is my only science a level?

Radiology is a medical specialism for which you would need to study medicine. The entry requirements for med are two science A levels. If you actually mean radiography, then just having one science A level is fine.
