Can I Pursue a degree in earth science if geography is my only science in A levels?

It seems like kind of a stretch, but would it be possible with only geography a level (my other subjects are history and English lit)

Check some uni entry requirements and see if you need 2 sciences for earth science at a range of unis- uniguide or ucas are both good for checking entry requirements 🙂

Look at the specific entry requirements for a range of courses at different Unis - and always look at the Unis own website as UCAS etc are not always accurate/up to date. If the entry requirements are not clear - just email the Uni and ask.
Examples :
Earth and Environmental Science BSc Hons (FF68) - Lancaster University
Earth Sciences - Study - University of Liverpool
BSc (Hons) Earth Science | University of Portsmouth

Hi @635897520
Each university will have different entry requirements for Earth science. At Lancaster for instance, our Earth and environmental science course has the requirements of ABB, including one science subject from options of: Biology, Chemistry, Computing, Environmental Science, Geography, Geology, Human Biology, Mathematics, Physics or Psychology. More information on the course can be found here Earth and Environmental Science BSc Hons (FF68) - Lancaster University.
Hope this helps!
